Free information evening for bereaved farm families in Mayo to take place this week
Farming communities in and around Mayo are encouraged to join Embrace FARM at their ‘Living and Farming after a Loss’ event
Embrace FARM, an agricultural bereavement and loss charity, invites farm families and those who support them to a free information evening around living and farming after a loss. The event is open to anyone who has survived or is grieving the loss of a loved one due to an accident, sudden illness, injury, or suicide, on or off the farm. Grief is not defined by the amount of time that may have passed and all are encouraged to join, no matter when their loss may have been.
The event will take place on Friday next, May 15 from 7pm in Aghamore Community Centre, Aghamore, Mayo (F35 AT21), and is an open community event for Mayo and the surrounding area.
The evening will have talks around succession planning with Clare O’Keeffe from Succession Ireland and bereavement support by Caroline Redmond from Embrace FARM. Light refreshments will also be served.
Lisa Tierney from Embrace FARM said: “There is immense grief within farm families across Ireland and we want to highlight the support available to them when living and farming with loss. The evening will hopefully remind these farm families that they are not alone, sitting alongside those who understand their grief the most.”
