Anam Cara Cork, the organisation that supports bereaved parents in your community, will hold its monthly parent evening on Wednesday 3rd of April at 7:20pm in the Clayton Hotel, Silver Springs, Tivoli, Cork.

You may be aware of bereaved families in your community, who you could pass this information on to. We would really appreciate any help you can give us to raise awareness of this free event for bereaved parents.

This event offers parents a safe and comfortable forum where they can connect with other bereaved parents who understand the depth of grief and loss that follows after the death of their son or daughter.

A bereaved parent who attends Anam Cara Cork says “It's been a life saver meeting other bereaved parents who have survived the long dark days and nights of the death of their children and who have come out the other side of grief, who now manage to live their daily lives in a new and different way while managing to never lose sight of the huge loss that has been bestowed upon them."

Anam Cara Cork based director Valerie O Riordan stressed that this parent evening is open to all bereaved parents “regardless of the age your child died, the circumstances of their death or whether the death was recent or not. Anam Cara gives bereaved mothers and fathers a chance to meet and connect with other bereaved parents in a safe and comfortable setting. Here we can find a level of support and understanding that – even with the best will in the world – it can be difficult for family and friends to offer.”

On their website, anamcara.ie, you can access resources which include the Anam Cara Information Pack (eight leaflets) developed by bereaved parents and the Anam Cara Videos on A Dad’s Grief, Sudden and Traumatic Death, and The Grieving Family.

You can also find information about other events in the Cork and Munster Region.
