Anam Cara, the bereavement support group for parents, will hold its first local face-to-face meeting since the pandemic began in Galway on Wednesday February 2. The event will take place at the Clayton Hotel, Briarhill at 7.15pm.
The organisation welcomes any bereaved parent, regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of his/her death, to this free meeting.
A spokesperson for the support group said as the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted and the country continues to open up, it continues to offer its support services both online and in person.
“When restrictions were introduced in March 2020, Anam Cara took the decision to reconfigure their support groups and deliver their services online. This gave bereaved parents a space to talk, listen, and engage with their peers. These meetings continued throughout the pandemic and Anam Cara is delighted to offer these online meetings moving forward.
“However, with many restrictions lifted, their face-to-face meetings have returned and will also run monthly. The national organisation will hold their face-to-face meeting in Galway on the 2nd February and would like to extend a warm welcome to any bereaved parent in the area.”
“People who plan to attend the meeting are asked to register in advance by telephoning Anam Cara at (01 ) 4045378 or emailing [email protected]
