If you have been affected by the loss of a child, brother, sister or a parent the links below may help.

 

Having lost Matthew, we both attend counselling sessions at the Laura Centre.

 

Initially we thought no one could help, as no one could bring Matthew back to us. However, there are all sorts of issues that arise from the loss of a loved one and the Laura Centre is helping us work through our issues
