Friendship Meetings
for bereaved Parents and Siblings
The
Compassionate Friends support groups offer a safe
environment for bereaved parents and siblings to express themselves in the
company of others who understand their grief. All groups listen and
share with you. You will feel a great relief as you talk about your child
or brother or sister - the way he or she died, his or her place in the
life of the family, feelings you may find difficult to express
elsewhere. We support all parents and families, where children may
have died at any age and from any cause
If you are considering attending your
first group, we extend our hearts and loving thoughts, for we are bereaved
as you are and found it difficult to attend our first meeting. We want to
encourage you to reach out in your own time and in your own way. It may
not be easy, as feelings may be overwhelming, you may ask yourself: "What
will it be like? Who will be there? What do they do? Will it make me
worse? What will people think of me? Will it make me cry? It is not
unusual to find yourself busy, and not able to make it on the day you
decided to go.
All of this is normal. It may take several regular
attendances to find something of value for you. It may not be
easy.....but....together we will make it ... we are The Compassionate
Friends.
