Join Mother's who share and understand the complex feelings of losing a child. Regardless of the circumstances of your loss and no matter how much time has passed, we welcome you to join us in a safe, private and peaceful space where your feelings are not only heard but fully understood. Being surrounded by women who have shared experiences will allow you to feel supported and not alone in your thoughts and feelings. Mothers who are further along in their journey are welcome to share their experience to provide valuable insight as a mentor to our mothers experiencing a recent loss. You will never be pressured to share or talk, you are welcome to simply be present and be surrounded by inspiration and support. Hope Valley is a space to find HOPE and we encourage you to join us.

Mollie grew up in the close-knit community of Coshocton, Ohio. In 2011, she met and married her husband, and in 2018, they made their home in Newark. In December 2014, Mollie faced the unimaginable loss of her firstborn son, Barrett.

As she navigated the depths of grief, Mollie found comfort and strength through connections with other mothers who had also experienced loss—women who could truly understand and validate her pain. Over time, healing took root, and with it came a deep sense of purpose. Mollie felt called to support other grieving mothers, offering the compassion and understanding she had once needed herself.

In June 2024, that calling came to life when Mollie partnered with Hope Valley to launch their very first support group for bereaved moms.

We invite you to spend time before the group to take a mindful, relaxing walk on our nature trail or take advantage of any of our outdoor spaces to sit and listen to the fountains and birds. Spending time in nature can help reduce stress and anxiety allowing your mind and body to relax and experience calmness.
