Anam Cara to hold Midlands meeting for bereaved parents

Anam Cara, the support group for bereaved parents, is set to hold a pre-Christmas meeting for bereaved parents across the Midlands next week.

The meeting takes place in the Mullingar Park Hotel on Wednesday of next week, December 14, at 7.15pm and all parents from the Midlands area are welcome to attend, regardless of the age their child died or the circumstances of their death. Registration is not required, just come along on the evening at 7.15pm.

The Mullingar Anam Cara meeting is one of 14 face to face meetings taking place around the country in the run-up to Christmas to assist bereaved parents at what can often be the most difficult time of year.

While the picture perfect image of Christmas is something we all aspire to, for bereaved parents it can be a very sad time. They wonder would their child have slept peacefully on Christmas Eve, they wonder what their child would have asked Santa for, they wonder what would have been under the tree for their child. Christmas brings joy and laughter but a lot of sadness too.

Throughout the month of December, Anam Cara want bereaved parents and all those struggling to reach out – reach out to loved ones, to friends, to colleagues, to support organisations – to someone you trust.

But the organisation is also seeking support. This Christmas, Anam Cara is asking the public to light up their virtual Christmas Tree with a very special “Light of Love” in memory of a loved one. By donating, you will be helping Anam Cara be there throughout the whole year to support bereaved parents all over Ireland.
