Support for Bereaved Parents and Siblings in London
We are here to support you following the devastating loss of your child. We provide an informal, quiet space for you to meet with other bereaved parents and share your experiences.
September update – all our support groups are running via Zoom
All SLOW support groups are now running via Zoom videoconferencing for both new and existing bereaved parents – see the calendar for details of dates and times. Plus you can also connect with other bereaved parents via our Facebook page.
For more information and to access support please contact us at info@slowgroup.co.uk or on 07532 423 674.
Thank you and take care.
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, relief in sharing the pain of grief, and company in bearing the unbearable, alongside others who are living with the death of their child.
Whether it’s weeks, months or years since your child died you’ll be welcome here at SLOW. Find a support group near you.
