'Surviving Child Loss'
by Warrior Moms
Warrior Moms' Amy Durham and Michele Davis guiding listeners through their grief journey
Every Warrior Moms' story is different, but one thing they share is the decision to live.
“Dream it, and we will try to make it happen…”
In August 2025, Mike & Cathy Rainey generously gifted Amy Durham and Michele Davis use of Briarpatch Farms in Eatonton, GA to put on a Warrior Moms event for 50 grieving moms — and it was just the beginning!
On a Saturday in April. we hosted our second Warrior Moms Retreat, "A Day of Restoration" and welcomed 50 new Warrior Moms — each at different stages of their grief journey — at the beautiful New Ground Foundation in Canton, Georgia, thanks to the extraordinary generosity and unwavering support of the owners, Kevin and Gwen.
Throughout the day, mothers came together in both intimate and larger group settings to participate in guided activities, meaningful conversations, and shared moments of reflection and connection. What began as a room of strangers quickly became a community built on understanding, compassion, and shared experience.
There were tears, of course — but there was also laughter, encouragement, healing, and genuine friendship. Above all, there was love: the kind that reminds grieving mothers they are not alone in their journey.
New Ground Foundation delivers world-class hospitality on its beautiful property and supports nonprofits addressing education gaps, food insecurity, language learning, and child welfare.

Between the laughter, the tears, and the quiet moments, we found strength in each other. These photos capture more than smiles — they hold the bond of mothers who understand without words. From the hayrides to the hugs, every moment reminded us that healing happens best in the company of those who truly get it.
They came as strangers, left as sisters… Our hearts are officially full. 💕 Sometimes the universe just knows who to send your way. Here’s to the beautiful souls we didn’t know we were missing — until now.
(Proof that when your ♥ is open, the right people always find their way in…)
