ANAM Cara, the national organisation that support bereaved parents and families, are hosting a ‘Bereavement Information Evening’ from 19:30-21:30 on Tuesday, March 8, at the Meadowlands Hotel, Tralee.
This event gives parents an opportunity to hear an experienced bereavement professional talk about the many challenges families may face after the death of their son or daughter.
The event is open to all bereaved parents, regardless of the age of their child or the circumstances of their death and there will be time on the evening for questions and to talk with other parents in a similar situation. It is encouraged that even if you have already attended before, to come along again as each time you will hear something different that will help you through the difficulty.
Guest speaker on the night is Pat McCarthy. She worked for a number of years as a nurse and went on to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist with a special interest in working in the area of bereavement, loss and change in life. She is also one of the founder members of The Irish Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society now called Féileacáin.
The event is free, but numbers are need to be confirmed. If you would like to attend, you can RSVP to info@anamcara.ie before Monday, March 7, or contact them on 01 4045378 – 087 9637790.
