Our next HOPE Group Meeting will be on 4/14/21 @ 7:30 pm via Zoom. Please let us know if you need the Zoom meeting details and we’ll send them to you. Please email Donna, HOPE Group facilitator.
UPDATE: We are still working with Winchester Hospital’s Center for Healthy Living as we try to find a new meeting location when in-person meetings resume. Due to Covid19 and reorganization of space, our meeting location will potentially change. We’ll keep you updated!
Thank you to all HOPE members who attended the virtual HOPE Memorial Service this week. Although meeting in person would have been ideal, the virtual service provided a way to connect us to remember and celebrate our beautiful children. Be kind to yourselves this holiday season and reach out to us if you need additional support.
Our next virtual HOPE Group meeting will be on January 13th @ 7:30 pm via Zoom. We will use the same Zoom link as the memorial service. Email Donna at donnamcd@me.com if you need the Zoom link details.
Please subscribe to our website here at rindyshope.org to receive all further posts and news. We are active on Facebook also if you need to reach us.
Below is a word cloud from the memorial service as well as the program.
Love and Hope,
Donna
This year’s HOPE Memorial Service will be virtual via Zoom. The service is tonight 12/9/2020 at 7:30 pm. If you’d like to join us, please send us an email at donnamcd@me.com and we’ll send along the Zoom meeting details. Remember to bring a candle. We’ll have a virtual candle lighting ceremony.
Our regular monthly meetings will continue virtually via Zoom. Our next monthly meeting will be January 13, 2021. The meetings will occur on every second Wednesday of the month.
Let us know if you need support before then.
Hello HOPE! Our apologies for not posting an update here on Rindy’s Hope website in quite a long time. As of this writing (August 2020), the pandemic continues to prevent us from holding in person meetings. We have adjusting though and are holding meetings virtually via Zoom. If you’d like to attend please contact us via email, DM on Facebook or text us if you have our number. We will send out the Zoom meeting details privately to protect all of us.
Our meetings occur every second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm.
You’ve probably noticed that we did not send out a Hope Group Newsletter this Spring 2020. We are in the process of contacting all of you to announce that we will only be publishing a yearly newsletter in December as it coincides with our memorial service. It was a very tough decision to publish once instead of twice a year. Hope you understand.
We are going to make more of an effort to post every month going forward here on the website. Please spread the word to our members so that they can send us their email addresses. Everyone will automatically be notified of new posts. Our membership is also active on Facebook under Rindy’s Hope. If you haven’t followed us, please do so you do not miss any news.
We hope you are keeping healthy and safe during this pandemic. We will certainly let you know when meetings will resume in person. Please always know we remember you and your baby/babies and that we send you our best. Please let us know if you need more support.
If you’d like to be removed from new post notifications, please send us an email telling us so.
Stay well, Donna.
Thank you for visiting our page. We hope you find some comfort here.
Please visit our NEWSLETTERS page. We’ve recently updated with links to newsletters from 2002 to the present 2018. We’re sure you’ll connect to something any one of our members have published. If you’d like to submit your HOPE personal story for one of the upcoming newsletters, please send it to Donna. There’s a link for her email on the newsletter page.
A reminder regarding OUR MEETINGS: We meet consistently every month on the SECOND WEDNESDAY at 7:30 pm. We meet in the first floor conference room of 200 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA. Come early if you wish to connect before the meeting. We are usually there by 7 pm. We always encourage our members to come early to help set up for the meeting.
To communicate with us, we are always on Facebook at Rindy’s HOPE or you can contact us on this website.
As always take care of you and be kind and gentle with yourself.
The group continues to grow. It’s sad that we keep getting members but it’s a wonderfully supportive group that allows families to grieve. Below is the latest newsletter. In it is a loving memorial in print called Our Babies Remembered. If you’d like to be added to the list, please fill out the form included in the newsletter.
Our next newsletter will be published in the Spring. Any questions, please let us know. Email Donna.
All donations should be sent to The HOPE Group, 5 Liberty Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803.
My apologies for the time lapse in between posts. The group seems to be exploding with members. So sad to see new members but encouraged that they are reaching out for support during their grief. We’ve published a few newsletters since our last post. Please check them out on our site. There are many beautiful entries that may help soothe your hearts. We continue to post on Facebook at Rindy’s Hope so please like our page and follow us!

On Saturday, May 17th in the US and Canada, RETURN TO ZERO will premiere on LIFETIME!
“Every once in a while, a film comes along that has the power to make a difference in the lives of others. RETURN TO ZERO is that powerful and moving story that so many people around the world who have faced similar challenges can relate to,” said A+E Networks senior vp international programming and production Christian Murphy. “We felt it very important to present this moving film with such incredible performances from A-list stars as the first global premiere for Lifetime.”
