SLOW is introducing a new weekly in person support group in North London from 1st November 2022, due to an increase in demand for support.

The weekly group will run on a Tuesday in the N7, London area during school term time.

Our bereaved parent support groups are run by expertly trained bereaved parents.  At SLOW we support bereaved parents when their child has died at any age and in any circumstances.

Here’s what our bereaved parent members have said about our groups:

It’s like an island of sanity where you can go and you can talk about your child quite freely and it doesn’t matter if it’s three months, three years, ,ten years.

The recipe of just being actively listened to in any form, in any walk of life, if people actively listen to you, it’s so wonderfully supportive, not just because our children died, but just in general. It doesn’t happen very often; people are talking too much and not willing to actively listen. And I think that’s the beauty of SLOW

If you would like to know more about how we can support you and what you can expect from our support groups please get in touch.  You can email us: info@slowgroup.co.uk or call us on 07532 423 674.

Walking For Rosie: Part Six – The Long Distance of It All

Grief takes you down paths you didn’t know existed within yourself. It leads you to places in your own interior landscape that you have never visited, depths of love you didn’t know you were capable of, depths of pain that surprise you even after all this time, corners of yourself that only open in the dark.

Sometimes those paths are frightening. Sometimes they’re strangely beautiful. Sometimes they’re both at once.

Walking For Rosie: Part Five – The Downhill Lie

I’ve learnt to zigzag my way downhill, taking the pressure off, finding a different angle on the same slope. It takes longer. It’s less direct. But it gets me down in one piece. And in my way. Grief is exactly like that. There are days I brace myself for, the days that are marked in the calendar as ‘harder days’. I prepare. I give myself permission in advance to fall apart. And sometimes I do, often in private. But sometimes those days arrive and I find I can breathe through them, because I was ready, because I had armoured up, because the anticipation held me together.
