Anam Cara to hold parent bereavement support meeting
The Tipperary meeting will take place in the Horse & Jockey Hotel at 7.15pm on Monday, November 21
Support services increase for bereaved parents during this traditional month of Remembrance.
As we approach the festive season, bereavement charity, Anam Cara, are making additions to their support services offered to bereaved parents.
Every Thursday throughout the month of November, they will hold a 30 minute webinar, free of charge. Each webinar will be facilitated by counsellor, educator and chair of the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network Brid Carroll.
Commenting on the third series of webinars, Ms Carroll said: “I am delighted - for the third year in a row - to facilitate this series of webinars to support bereaved parents on their journey through grief and offer hope in the darkness of their loss.”
Each week will hold a different title, including When Words are not Enough: The Reality of Losing One’s Child, and Rebuilding Our Lives: Growing around our Grief.
We hope to reach out to bereaved parents who are struggling at this time and support them, she said.
The month of November is traditionally a time of remembrance so the extra supports will be most welcomed.
Anam Cara will also hold their 14 face-to-face meetings throughout the month across the country. On Monday, November 21, their Tipperary meeting will take place in the Horse & Jockey Hotel at 7.15pm.
All bereaved parents from the area are welcome, regardless of the age their child died or circumstances of death. There is no need to register, just arrive at 7.15pm.
