Willersley Castle Weekend Retreat - January 2017

Some lovely photos from The Compassionate Friends Retreat for parents in early bereavement held this weekend. Thank you Jimmy Edmonds from The Good Grief Project for sharing these with us.

Thank you to all who came to our few days together and to those volunteers giving their time to make the weekend happen. We hope you found comfort and support by being together, sharing your stories and your beloved children. We hope you made new friends and connections to help and sustain you as you navigate this new life without your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters.
