For anyone who’s lost a parent they were close to - recently or in the past few years - this is a regular, supportive space to talk, remember, and connect with others who truly understand. We’ll share memories, photos, stories, laughter, understanding, tears and smiles in a small, friendly group. Very importantly we will also share and explore how we are doing through this journey.

🌿 Honouring a Parent: Fortnightly Bereavement Support & Memory Sharing 🌿

💔 Losing a parent you were close to changes life forever.
Whether it happened just weeks ago, a month, a year or several years back, the grief can still rise unexpectedly, the longing can be just as strong and the ache can feel overwhelming.
This group is for adults who want a safe, compassionate space to share, listen, and connect with others who truly understand the unique pain - and love - of that bond.
Here, we can share our stories, talk about our loved ones, remember them openly,
Come early or on time so you can get a drink before we begin, and join us as we remember our loved ones together ❤️

🕊 Why we meet
We come together every two to three weeks in a small, welcoming group to talk openly, honour our parents' memories, and support each other through the ups and downs of this journey. Sometimes we cry, sometimes we smile - often both in the same evening. There is no pressure to speak; simply being among people who “get it” can be comforting in itself.

💬 Focus: Sharing memories, mutual support, and understanding.
In our gatherings, you might choose to:

Speak your parent’s name and keep their memory alive

Share treasured stories, photos, or moments

Talk about what they went through and how their loss has shaped your life

Vent frustrations and be heard without judgement

Celebrate the love you shared and the life they lived

Share how you're feeling

☕ Practical details
We start promptly, so you’re encouraged to arrive a little early or right on time to grab a drink before we begin. This is a small group by design - keeping numbers low ensures everyone feels safe, heard, and valued.
Please ensure that if you have signed up for this event and you can no longer make it, edit your reserve! Spare a thought for someone else who might like to attend as spaces are limited.
We will also know who to look out for.
I normally put a note in the event comments section where we are sat but there isn't a good reception in the cafe so when you arrive, if you aren't sure or can't see us, ask at the bar and they will kindly point you in the right direction.

🤝 Who it’s for

Adults who have lost a parent they were close to

Loss may have been recent or within the last few years

Anyone seeking understanding, connection, and a place to remember their loved one

🌸 If you choose to join
This is a gentle, non-judgemental space where your grief will be met with kindness and your parent’s memory will be honoured. You will leave knowing you are not alone.

If you would like to join, just bring yourself - and, if you wish, a photo or memory to share.

If you’re looking for gentle company from people who truly “get it,” you are warmly welcome.

Join us for Paddy’s Day drinks at Pogue Mahon’s! Please note we won’t have a reserved space as per usual pub meets - expect a busy, lively atmosphere.

Open to all. If you’re new and unsure who to look for, we’ll post updates in the comments on the night to find us. We’ll likely be spread across different floors throughout the evening.

Please ensure you have ID on you.

Any questions message host or post in the comments.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
