Support Group for bereaved parent

Hi,

We lost our incredible 15 year old daughter a month ago after her 9 gruelling months battling cancer. We can't however seem to find any support groups for parents in our situation. Does anyone know of any? We need to make some sort of sense to be able to manage this horrific monumental void in our lives and just don't know how.

    Sorry Mummypig1,

                                   all l can suggest is to look if there is a Maggies centre close by,the locations will be on their website.They are places of quiet solace,offer personal counselling sessions and have focused groups.My local one was a godsend and helped pull me through.Hopefully this will prove to be a positive start point towards your road to recovery,

                                        Best wishes,

                                                            David

    So sorry Mummypig1.  The Compassionate Friends is an organisation for bereaved parents, their number is: 0345-123-2304.  Their email is:  helpline@tcf.org.uk

    I hope that his will point you in the right direction for the help you need.......the loss of a child is without a doubt the worst loss of all, there are simply no words.........best wishes, Violet.
