For parents, carers, and family members who have had their loved one pass away – a loved one who lived with disability. We’re inviting people who are sharing the same journey to gather in a supportive and casual environment.
The death of your adult (or younger) child with disability, who you have cared for long-term is an isolating experience.
It often feels like friends don’t understand what you’re going through or how to best support you through the huge gap that’s now opened in your life.
You are invited to join a casual get-together for the families of people with developmental disability who have passed away. Julie cared for her beloved son Gareth who died last year at the age of 35. Julie will be at this session with others who would like to meet people who are sharing the same journey.
Darrin Brandis and Anthy Wright (psychologists) are experienced with grief and bereavement and will lead the discussion. You will be able to safely support each other and learn strategies that have been helpful. You can share as much or little of your experience that you want.
