Anam Cara launches new online resource for recently bereaved parents

Anam Cara is launching a new online resource this week that will offer some support and solace to recently bereaved parents. This resource can be accessed via the Anam Cara website.

Understanding the additional challenges parents now face throughout the Covid-19 emergency and the recently announced restrictions on funerals, Anam Cara has swiftly responded by developing and producing eight online bereavement support video vignettes to help bereaved mothers and fathers at this very difficult time.

These clips will complement the Anam Cara videos and information pack which were compiled by bereaved parents for bereaved parents.

The eight short videos feature Brid Carroll, an experienced psychotherapist who has worked with families through bereavement and loss for many years.

Brid, who is also the chairperson of the Irish Child Bereavement Network, talks about the impact and challenges of the intense grief and devastation for parents and siblings after the death of a child of any age and through all circumstances.
