Here are the dates of our Frome Grief Network meetings for the remainder of this year!

Join founders Mel Dalton and Neil Croom, along with other members of the Frome Grief Network for an informal catch-up, the opportunity to share the work you do locally related to grief, loss, death and dying, and for conversations about future Network activities.

These meetings are aimed towards those who work with grief and loss. They are also open to members of the community who are interested and would like to offer their help. Gentle reminder that whilst we welcome and very much appreciate people bringing their own stories, these meet-ups are not grief support groups. If you are a member of the public looking for personal support, we would be happy to signpost you to local offerings along these lines.

Free entry and hot drinks provided. Booking is essential due to limited space. Please email fromegriefnetwork@gmail.com to reserve a space.

The start of a new school term can be a truly challenging time, often catching us unawares.

Even the most seemingly normal days for many can bring about difficult memories and emotions for those who grieve for a child.

Remember to be kind to yourself as you navigate your way through these feelings, and that 2wish is always here should you need us.

If you’re struggling during this back-to-school period, please reach out to us. We have a dedicated team ready to provide support for those affected by the sudden death of a child or young person. 💙
