The Donegal branch of Anam Cara, a national organisation supporting bereaved parents, will hold their monthly meeting next week.
The event will take place on Thursday, June 8, in The Radisson Blu Hotel, Letterkenny at 7:15pm. All bereaved parents are welcome, regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of death. Any bereaved parents in the Donegal area and surrounds are welcome to attend.
For further information on this event, and all other supports, Anam Cara can be contacted on 0852888888 or by email info@anamcara.ie
For bereaved parents, time can stand still as we approach the summer break. They are reflecting on what could have been – their child’s graduation from primary to secondary school, the start of the Junior Cert, finishing their school years with college on the horizon – milestones that were never reached.
As Anam Cara pause their face to face meetings in July and August, bereaved parents can link in with the service by email or phone but can also avail of their online services. Their podcast series “Conversations in Grief” is available on all podcast platforms and gives an insight into those who have faced the death of a child but offers hope. The organisation’s eight leaflet Information Pack can be a good reference piece for many. It includes articles on ‘A Dad’s Grief’, ‘Self-care, how it can help’, ‘Guidelines for employers of bereaved parents’ to name but a few.
All of this information and more can be found on the Anam Cara website, www.anamcara.ie
