Support for bereaved parents in Mayo and surrounding areas

National organisation Anam Cara has resumed face-to-face meetings, supporting parents who are sadly bereaved.

Regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of death, Anam Cara offers free peer-to-peer support meetings monthly, both face-to-face and online.

On Tuesday next, November 23, they will host a support meeting in the TF Royal Hotel, Castlebar, at 7.15 p.m. Any bereaved parent seeking compassion, support and information to help on the journey following the death of a son or daughter is welcome to attend.

Each Anam Cara group is co-facilitated by an Anam Cara volunteer parent and a professional facilitator.

As one parent who attends the meetings commented: “Who else can really understand what I am going through only another parent whose child has died.”

Next Tuesday's event is free but registration is required. Anam Cara can be contacted on (01) 4045378 or info@anamcara.ie.
