National Bereaved Parents Day is a time to honour and remember the children who are deeply loved and profoundly missed. It is also an opportunity to acknowledge the strength, resilience, and enduring bond that bereaved parents carry with them each day.

We remember the children whose lives, no matter how brief, have left lasting footprints on the hearts of those who love them. We invite you to speak their names, share their memories, light a candle, or simply take a quiet moment to reflect on the love that continues beyond loss.

You are not alone. We remember with you.

Today, on International Widows’ Day, we honour and acknowledge the millions of widowed individuals around the world navigating life after the death of a spouse or partner.

Grief can be isolating, but no one should have to carry it alone. We see you, we remember your loved ones, and we stand with you. 💜

Journey Through Grief: Child Loss 💛

The loss of a child changes a person forever. Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and impossible to put into words but you do not have to walk through it alone.

Join us on Tuesday, June 30 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for a gentle psychoeducational seminar for parents navigating grief after the loss of a child, adoloescent or adult child. Together, we will explore the impact of loss, coping tools, and ways to move through grief with support, compassion, and understanding.

An optional guided discussion will also provide space for reflection and shared support in a safe and welcoming environment.

📍 St. Joseph’s Hospice of London
💻 Hybrid option available through Microsoft Teams
🗓 Tuesday, June 30 | 10am–12pm
