Weekend Of Comfort

Hi All, Been away this weekend upto Liverpool to a 'Bereaved Parents Day'. Sal and I were wondering what we were doing up here in Liverpool, obviously apprehensive about what we're we going to achieve.
We arrived just after 9.30am being greeted and made very welcome by Brian and Pauline and Nich who were our facilitators for the day. They were on our table with various other parents who are going through similar tragic losses to their families. There was no pressure put on any individual during any part of the day. You could participate as much or as little as you wanted to. Our table consisted of other parents who had lost their children through road traffic accidents. For us it was comforting to know we were amongst parents who are grieving like us and at the end of the day became good friends, we will keep in touch. There was about 60 people who turned up for the event. We found the day uplifting, well organised and look forward to the next get together.
People who I spoke to in Liverpool were very friendly even if I did mention on a couple of occasions that Luke and I were Chelsea fans! Bye for now x.
