Support services increase for bereaved parents during November

As November, the traditional month of remembrance approaches, 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 Chairwomen of the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network, Brid Carroll.

Commenting on the third series of webinars, Brid 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 ‘Finding our first steps: Walking in the World of Grief’ 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”. The month of November is traditionally a time of remembrance so the extra supports will be most welcomed.

Anam Cara will also hold their fourteen face-to-face meetings throughout the month across the country. On Wednesday, November 9, their Midlands meeting will take place in The Mullingar Park Hotel, Mullingar 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 on the evening at 7.15pm.
