Support Weekend for Bereaved Parents (MLWC)

I am going to be doing my first collaborative work with a very dear friend who lost one of her twin son at 7 months. The foundation is in his honour Mr MC. The foundation is called My Little Warrior Child (MLWC) foundation. A big thank you to all our donors and supporters.

About this event

A person who loses a spouse is called a widow or widower, a person who loses both parents is called an orphan. There is no name for a parent who loses a child.

The death of a child is one of the worst things that can happen to any parent: from a miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, young aged child loss, adult child loss or even abortion.

Most parents who have lost a child are heartbroken and in so much pain even though they have found ways to cope on the surface.

Taking an entire weekend away in a safe place, where everything is catered for, is a time where you can begin to explore your feelings of sadness and loss.

During the support weekend, you will have time away from your busy everyday life to engage in a safe space with Advanced Grief Recovery Specialists Detola Amure & Eva Nabunnya alongside other bereaved parents who have also experienced the pain of losing a son or daughter.

Throughout the weekend, you can join in the suggested programme of workshops and activities, or simply relax in the hotel and wonderful lawn or talk with other parents.Couples, dads, mothers, and grandparents are welcome to attend.

What to expect

You will have opportunities to:

  • Understand some of the different ways’ parents grieve
  • Discover some myths about grief
  • Learn strategies to help you in your journey through loss
  • Have time to talk about your son or daughter

A detailed agenda will be sent to participants closer to the event.

Where

Our weekend together is at Devere East Horsley Estate, Surrey. Complete with a terrace, lawn, and lake, it is the ideal place for wandering, relaxing and exploring.

Located just outside Guildford, the estate is just five miles from J10 of the M25 with direct train routes into London Waterloo.

Accommodation

The hotel has single occupancy rooms and double occupancy rooms (for couples or friends who want to share) available. All rooms are ensuite. Please indicate in the comments section if you are sharing a room with someone else.

Team

The weekend is organised by the My Little Warrior Foundation and will be led by Advanced Grief Recovery Specialists Detola Amure and Eva Nabunnya. Apart from these two ladies being trained professionally to support grievers they have both experienced child loss and know how difficult life can be following a bereavement and more importantly know the action steps to recover from your loss.

Whether your child died last week, last month, or years ago, we would love you to join us. If you have ever felt that no one else understands the pain, heartache and hopelessness you feel since your loss, this weekend is for you.
