Information about our meetings.
All bereaved parents are welcome.
​
Full details about the meeting are sent via email if you are on our e-mailing list. If you do not have those details, or are not on the list, please contact us via the contact form. When we meet in person refreshments are provided.
​
All our meetings are very informal and are an opportunity to meet and talk with others who understand the pain of losing a child, and to share experiences and concerns.
​
Please note:
Our meetings are also occasionally attended by bereaved parents who may be expecting another child. An important part of our work is to support bereaved individuals and couples through what can be a stressful time. Please contact us via email or the contact form if you have any questions or concerns.
