Online Support Groups

“After the loss of my second-born triplet, I was blindsided by the experience of having to navigate the emotions of immense joy coupled with crippling grief. I was met with many comments of how grateful I should have been not to have left the hospital empty handed. It felt like nobody could possibly understand. It wasn’t until I was able to join a platform of other parents who were experiencing a similar unique situation that I felt as though I was understood and had my feelings normalised. I was able to learn that grief and joy can comfortably sit alongside one another and that it is possible to carry two babies in my arms whilst carrying one in my heart. I will forever be grateful to the founders of the Footprints charity for nurturing me through the toughest times of my life.”

Catherine, mum of triplets, Oscar, Louis and Teddy.

What is an online support group?

An online support group meeting will be held on Google Meet and will be shared with the participants via a meeting link.  There will be a group of up to about 10 people at each meeting and they will be hosted by Sharon and Suzie, and some of our experienced befrienders. 

It is a chance to be in a safe space with other parents who understand. There is no expectation of how much or how little you must share.  Everyone is different and we completely understand if you wish to just listen or if you want to talk. It is fine to cry and we do sometimes manage to have a little laugh.

We are here to offer support

“The online support groups and community help to connect with others who are also bereaved parents.  Grieving for a child can be a very lonely experience and to be able to connect and speak to others who fully understand really helps.”
