Bereavement support meetings for Tipperary parents to take place this month

Anam Cara, the only organisation of its kind in Ireland with services available to all bereaved parents, will hold fourteen face to face meetings throughout the month.

On Wednesday September 18, Anam Cara will hold their Tipperary meeting in The Horse & Jockey Hotel, Thurles at 7:15pm.

All bereaved parents from the Tipperary area are welcome, regardless of the age their child died or circumstances of their death.

There is no need to register, just arrive on the evening at 7:15pm.

All their support services are free of charge.

Operations Manager, Leanne Milligan reflected: "At this time of the year, we can all get caught up with the return to school, the return to routine and our busy lives continuing, but for those missing loved ones, time remains still. It is important to understand that less obvious occasions such as the return to school, can be hugely triggering”. She continued “Anam Cara was launched in 2008, in recognition of the need for a safe space for those bereaved. Somewhere to let their mask drop, where others who have lived this nightmare, can understand."
