A group of 20 supporters joined forces either walking or cycling 14 kilometres on a warm sunny Irish morning at the end of June! We enjoyed a rare morning without showers and raised a wonderful €2000 towards the work of counselling and the running of support groups. So very much needed and appreciated.
During September we will be launching a new proposed bereavement support group, this time in the Galway area. We meet for an introduction evening, followed by 8 weeks of group contact with 2 group facilitators. Past participants have often struggled with complex grief due to traumatic loss or unspoken and hidden sorrow. It was a privilege to walk alongside them as they bravely chose to face some of these issues and move forward in their grief. The key element is in creating a confidential and supportive environment where participants feel safe enough to share their stories and we hope and trust that we will enjoy that safety again this next group. Our last group enjoyed so much support together that they continue to meet from time to time in a social setting and to touch base with one another. So we hope for a repeat in Galway!
We continue to meet with people for counselling who are struggling with difficult life issues and feel overwhelmed by their circumstances. Having someone to listen to their struggles is vital in helping them gain perspective again and we are grateful to all our sponsors for donations received which have helped us to maintain this service.
Thank you for your support.
God bless you.
