Hopkinson, a former IBM executive, after the loss of 3 children and her husband, turned her grief of into a powerful memoir "A Butterfly's Journey… Healing Grief After the Loss of a Child", that inspires others to find love and happiness again after enduring the most shocking loss of all—the death of a child. She also was part of an inspirational collaborative book "FAITH – Finding Answers In The Heart, Volume II”, and writes for “Grief Diaries.”
Her insights were gained from her own spiritual journey, and more than 15 years of leading a support group for other bereaved families through The Compassionate Friends of Greater Newburyport, part of an international nonprofit organization. Site; http://abutterflysjourney.org

In 2003, she founded The Compassionate Friends of Greater Newburyport, MA, part of the largest grief recovery organization in the world, supporting family after a child dies.
