Hi Sarawo, i don’t know if this helps. I go to a Bereavement coffee morning in Alnwick, at the Northumberland hospice. The next one is 10/6 at 10am.

That’s really helpful, thank you.

The full address is Alnwick wellbeing centre, unit 3, greenfield ind estate. Willowburn avenue, Alnwick, NE66 2DG.

Thank you. Do many young widows attend? I’m 42 if that’s young!

I think I’m the youngest at 57 and I’m a widower. They seem nice, i have been 4 times, the first two times i wonderd what i was doing there as nobody talked about bereavement. Then i opened up the 3rd time and it was good. You can either sit around a table or you can sit out of the way. It’s free coffee or tea. It’s strange but been with people further down the path, i think helps. It’s your choice if you don’t feel comfortable don’t do it. It just gives me a reason to get out.

Hi everyone,

I know a public meeting space has been shared above, but a short reminder that as this is a public forum, it’s best to share any details of meeting up in person over private message.

Please take a look at our community guidelines for further information, but a couple of things to highlight:

  • Think about your safety if you ever arrange to meet people you have met on any online community. If you are doing this, always share your plans with someone else.
  • Staying anonymous is the best way to protect your privacy. We will remove things that could identify you, such as details of where you live, contact information, social media profiles, etc. It is, however, okay for you to use a photo of yourself or your loved one as your profile image if you are comfortable doing so.
  • It’s also okay to share contact information through private messaging. However, if you receive unsolicited messages asking for your details, or feel under pressure from another user to provide them, please flag the message to us or contact us at online.community@sueryder.org

Take care,

Naoise

I am very sorry.

Hi @Nightwish1

No need to be :slightly_smiling_face: - you have shared a really important message of support about a public service, but it’s always worth reminding all users about protecting their privacy on here too.

Take good care,

Naoise
