More information

You will get the chance to talk in confidence, gain more knowledge on the grieving process and give each other support.

It will be a safe space for you to cry, laugh and shout if needed; with the message that you are not alone.

There is also a waiting area with refreshments for those not attending a group. 

Link4Life will be offering an arts and craft session for the under sevens, including any other siblings not taking part.
