We want hear from our bereaved parent members about their experiences of attending our support groups both online and in person so we are working with Shivani Patel, a trainee clinical psychology student from the University of Hertfordshire.

Your feedback and views will help us understand and compare the efficacy of virtual vs in person support groups, so we can make improvements to how we run our groups as well as plan our next steps as an organisation.

Shivani will be running a number of 90-minute focus groups via Zoom in early September and we want these groups to represent a range of views from our members.

She’s specifically looking for bereaved parent members that have attended at least three virtual support groups as well as parents that have attended at least three in person support groups– or indeed attended both types of groups.

If you are interested in taking part in the focus groups, or if you would simply like to know more about the research, please contact Kelly Carter at admin@slowgroup.co.uk asap. She’ll then be able to forward your details onto Shivani who can provide you with further information.

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.
