SLOW - Surviving the Loss of Your World - is an award winning charity run by bereaved parents and siblings providing support for bereaved families in London and throughout the UK. Bereaved members say their support groups are a lifeline, giving them the chance to connect and share their experiences with other bereaved families.
Here's what members have said about the support they have received from SLOW:
"SLOW literally kept me alive. In the early days I just wanted to kill myself, I was just in a dark place. I didn't see a future. I can absolutely say, without a doubt, that without SLOW I wouldn't be here."
“SLOW was like an oasis in the desert, that’s what it was like for me. It was a massive relief”
“I have to say with my hand on my heart, SLOW was what helped me the most and it’s difficult to quantify how, when you’re in that awful state, how or what has helped you. But I knew in my heart what I felt when I left each SLOW meeting, and I still do. I just feel grounded and supported."
Donating to SLOW enables the charity to continue supporting bereaved families who have suffered the devastating loss of a child in the family.
