No Images? Click here Dear FriendWe met together with our befriender team a few weeks ago to plan our events for 2017. Whilst we are saddened at the need to run these, we are excited at the prospect of meeting many of you this year. In this newsletter, Mark gives us a fly-on-the-wall reflection from a befriender’s perspective of offering support at one of our events and Ruth tells us of her apprehension before coming to her first event for bereaved parents, but why she is now planning her third visit. Our first event this year is a support weekend in May at Alveston House hotel near Bristol. We would love to see you this year, or to link you with one of our telephone befrienders. You can also connect with us on Facebook. We are here to help. With our love Kath and Mike Coulson P.S. We’ve shared our story in this video clip. Click here if you’d like to watch it.
