Newsletter only child Spring 2023

TCF Newsletter | tcf.org.uk 2 Hello everyone You probably already know that we have not been able to produce several editions of this newsletter over the last year because of a lack of an editor, but we felt it was important to ensure that this spring we had a newsletter to send you. So we have pulled together some of the wonderful contributions received and hope that we have made a supportive and helpful newsletter for you. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this edition of our supportive newsletter for parents bereaved of an only child or all their children. We couldn’t create this unique magazine without you and your contributions – so many thanks to Maria, Tracy, Terry and Viv. If you would like to send us an article, a remembrance piece about your child or children, a poem you have written or that you particularly like, a book or podcast review or anything that you think might be helpful for other grieving parents, then please do. You can send your contributions to info@tcf.org.uk . If you are 3 or more years bereaved of your only child, or all your children, and you would like to ‘guest edit’ the content for this newsletter then please do get in touch with me at the email above. We are always looking for volunteers who enjoy writing, researching and collating helpful articles and pieces. Later in the year we are planning to have a section of Compassion magazine (TCF’s publication for all bereaved parents) just for you – parents who are bereaved of an only child or all their children. We really hope you will want to contribute to that. For now, we hope you find the features here helpful and we send you our compassion and warmest wishes, Carolyn Carolyn Brice, CEO, The Compassionate Friends Thoughts from our editor
