Anam Cara is inviting bereaved parents in Tipperary to attend meetings

 Anam Cara, the organisation that supports bereaved parents, will hold its next Tipperary meeting in the Horse & Jockey Hotel near Thurles on Monday, December 18 at 7.15pm.

The silent nights can be the hardest for those bereaved at Christmas 

At this time of year, there is no avoiding the Christmas tunes, the twinkling lights, the hustle and bustle in the shops. However, nights can be long for those bereaved at Christmas. The night of the Toy Show, the night Santa leaves Lapland to bring the magic to millions of children worldwide, these and many more nights can be endless for many…. The silence can be deafening. 

Christmas brings much joy and laughter but can also brings a lot of sadness to many. Days can be long for those bereaved, but nights can be longer. Anam Cara is encouraging people to reach out if they need support, whether it is a friend, a colleague, or a support organisation like themselves.  

Many will struggle over the weeks ahead so look out for those who may need a listening ear, be present for them, amongst the madness of the festive season.   

This Christmas, Anam Cara is asking everyone to light up their virtual Christmas Tree with a very special “Light of Love”, in memory of a loved one. By donating, you will be helping Anam Cara's work with bereaved parents all over Ireland. To get involved, check out their website www.anamcara.ie 

On Monday 18th December, Anam Cara will hold their Tipperary meeting in The Horse & Jockey Hotel, Thurles at 7:15pm. All bereaved parents from the area are welcome, regardless of the age their child died or circumstances of death. There is no need to register, just arrive on the evening at 7:15pm.
