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.
Summer holidays update – our groups have closed for the summer break but will resume again in September
Our groups will resume after the summer break – please see dates of forthcoming meetings below. You can also connect with other bereaved parents via our Facebook page.
If you are new to SLOW and wish to access support after the summer break 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.
