Information evening for bereaved
Inishowen parents
06.10.17
Anam Cara, the national
organisation that supports bereaved parents, will
host an information evening next week in Buncrana.
The free event is open to all mothers and fathers in
Inishowen who have experienced the death of a son or
daughter, regardless of the age of the child, the
circumstances of the death, or whether the death was
recent or not.
Anam Cara has been in operation since 2008. It has
ten active groups meeting monthly across the
country, supporting some 1,800 bereaved parents
annually. A group meets in the Mount Errigal Hotel
in Letterkenny on the second Thursday of each month,
but this is the first time they will hold an event
in Inishowen. |

supporting bereaved parents and their families.
After the short talk there will be an opportunity to
speak to other bereaved parents over a cup of tea or
coffee, or to speak to the professional should you
have any questions or concerns.
