\nCarnegie Court Hotel, Swords, Co. Dublin
\nThis event offers parents a safe and comfortable forum where they can
\nconnect with other bereaved parents who understand the depth of grief and
\nloss that follows after the death of their son or daughter. With Mother’s
\nDay, an incredibly difficult milestone for any bereaved mother, approaching
\nat the end of this month, it is important bereaved mothers know there is
\nsupport and resources available.
\nA parent who attended a recent Anam Cara North Dublin meeting said: “What\u00a0 I
\nheard was so familiar to me, I felt less alone and more understood”. Anam
\nCara CEO Sharon Vard stressed that this event is open to all bereaved
\nparents regardless of the age of the child or children, the circumstances of
\ntheir death, or whether this was recent or not.For those considering attending but unsure, Ms Vard suggests they visit the
\nwebsite,\u00a0anamcara.ie<\/a>. “There, in their own time, parents can watch our short
\nvideos with testimonies from bereaved parents and couples who have attended
\nAnam Cara events. The videos, which are just four minutes each, show parents
\ninterviewed on topics like A Dad’s Grief, Sudden and Traumatic Death, and
\nThe Grieving Family.”
\nOne of the fathers who attends the group urged bereaved parents to give it a
\ntry. “There is no pressure to talk, yet you feel supported by the other
\nparents who know how desperately hard it is after your child has died. Like
\nso many bereaved parents Anam Cara has been my lifeline.”
\nAnam Cara services are offered free of charge for as long as necessary.<\/p>\n
