Support for Bereaved Parents and Siblings
We are here to support you following the devastating loss of your child or sibling. We provide an informal, quiet space for you to meet with other bereaved parents and siblings and share your experiences.
At SLOW we know that your grief cannot be fixed, and we do not strive to ‘make things better’.
Instead we give you space and support, so that you may, in your own time, slowly rebuild your life.
In this way, we believe there is hope to be found in connecting with other bereaved parents and siblings, relief in sharing the pain of grief, and company in bearing the unbearable, alongside others who are living with loss.
Summer Holiday 2022 Update
Our regular support groups are taking a break over the summer holidays but will return week commencing 5th September 2022.
Over the six week summer break we will be running two Zoom support groups on the 9th and 23rd August that are open to all bereaved parents. To join these groups contact SLOW at info@slowgroup.co.uk or on 07532 423674.
See below for dates of all our upcoming groups or check out the SLOW calendar.
“Being listened to and understood is for bereaved parents a ray of hope amidst a world that has fallen apart.”
