sfc1 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Does anyone know of any activities or groups for elderley bereaved parentst. My mum is in her early 70's and is quite active with a good sense of humour but shy. I am at a loss at what to do to occupy her and she is really low at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 You could do worse than have a look at some of the local Churches; even if Mum isn't religious at all there may be some groups she could join and benefit from. There's also an organisation called Cruse http://www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/ They specialise in caring for the bereaved of all ages. Hope you find this of help. Best wishes to you and your Mum.

sfc1 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks a lot for your suggestions and I will take them up. Mum did volunteer for the WRVS but was told there wasn't any vacancies at the local hospital. the church group sounds a good option and will try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 what area are you in? (or rather, what area is your mother in?) there might be a local townswomen's guild, or a ladies; rotary club, that she might enjoy attending, if she's still lively of mind (which I can't see her *not* being if she's only in her early seventies!)
