This welcoming and friendly online envrionment provides bi-monthly – Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec – peer support to regionally-based suicide bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents. (Feb, April, June, August, October, December). An opportunity for us to speak openly – in an environment of peers – about our grief, bereavement-related challenges we are facing, our lost loved ones, and where we find meaning or comfort.
The Compassionate Friends Walk to Remember is a symbolic way to show the love we carry for these children. It is an opportunity to connect with other bereaved families and talk freely about your child, grandchild, brother or sister in a safe, relaxed environment.
We will be doing a gentle walk at Princes Park, Carlton Nth, followed by a service and a BBQ lunch.
This event is free for TCFV members as the cost is covered as part of your membership.
