Parents often tell us that the death of a child can be an extremely isolating experience. At times, it may feel as though people don’t understand what you’re going through, or how to best support you.

Special days like Father’s Day can be especially challenging. On a day that is often celebrated by many, you may find yourself having lots of different emotions. We will talk about this, and what might be helpful for you to manage it.

This online catch-up is a safe space for dads to meet and talk to other dads in a similar situation, share their experiences, support each other and learn strategies that have been helpful. It will be facilitated by Redkite social workers, Sam and Jonny. 

We welcome all dads and father figures and encourage new attendees to join. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you like.

This group is for you if:

• You are a parent of a child who was aged 0-18 years old when they died following a cancer diagnosis
• You want to meet and talk with other bereaved dads
