Last Friday we held our monthly SOULS Bereavement Café, and as it fell on Milly’s birthday, it was an extra special one for us.
We had a lovely couple of hours together, chatting, sharing stories, remembering our beautiful children, and of course enjoying lots of tea, coffee and cake!
We did have a bit of a last-minute cake panic, as our lovely cake lady decided to go into labour! We send her and baby all our love and can’t wait to see some photos!
Thankfully, the wonderful Jayne stepped in and baked us a delicious lemon drizzle cake, and Finch Bakery very kindly helped us out with some lovely cakes at a fantastic discount. Thank you both so much, we really appreciated your kindness.
As it was Milly’s birthday, everyone who came along received a little birthday gift from Milly, which was just a lovely way to make the day that little bit more special.
Our SOULS Café is somewhere parents who have lost a child can come along, have a brew, a piece of cake and spend time with others who understand. There is no pressure to talk, you can share your story, talk about your child, have a laugh, have a cry, or simply sit and listen. Whatever feels right for you.
We also have a bereavement counsellor at the Café, who is there to offer that extra bit of support if anyone needs it.
Our Cafe is held on the first Friday of every month, is free to attend and is open to anyone who has experienced the loss of a child of any age at any time.
