🩷🩵 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲

Today, we honour the babies who left too soon and the families who carry their love and memory. 🕊️

Grief looks different for everyone. There is no timeline, no right way to grieve, and no need to minimize a loss.

To every parent and family carrying this grief, your loss matters, your love matters, and you are not alone. 🤍

🕯️ At 7 p.m. we invite you to light a candle in remembrance of the little lives that left a lasting impact.

O Lord, Support us all the day long of this troubled life,
Until the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then, Lord, In your Divine Mercy, may you have given Thomas a safe lodging, a holy rest from his labours, in the fullness of your peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

💔 Complicated Grief – The Impact of Road Traffic Collisions

Grief comes in many forms, but nothing prepares you for the devastation of losing someone suddenly in a road traffic collision.

When a loved one is ill or nearing the end of life, families often experience anticipated grief – the slow, painful process of saying goodbye, making memories, and finding some sense of closure.

But when a life is taken without warning, families are thrown into complicated grief – a grief that is traumatic, overwhelming, and lifelong. There is no chance to prepare, no final words, only a sudden void filled with shock, unanswered questions, and the heavy weight of injustice.

For families of road victims, this grief is not something you “get over.” It changes every part of life. It lingers in the empty chair, the silenced laughter, the milestones never reached.

At IRVA, we walk beside every family living with this pain. We raise our voices for justice, for change, and for those who can no longer speak. You are not alone. We see you. We remember with you. 🕯️

Please reach out to us when the time is right for you. 🙏🏽

"A one-way system will be in place on Drumboe Avenue, entering, as always from the Drumboe Avenue on Main Street and exiting at West Gates, no access will be permitted from West Gates entrance, except for residents. Could all those not travelling onwards to Stranorlar Cemetery please park at Jackson's Car Park or at the Chapel Car Park. It is advised all those who are in a position to walk to please do so. Priority will be given to elderly and disabled drivers at Drumboe. Also all those arriving first will be asked to park at the bottom of the field on the car park side. Please adhere to and respect the guidance of the stewards. The graveyard committee has requested that any users of Drumboe Cemetery, remove any old, withered, silk or Christmas wreaths. This will enable grass to be cut in and around headstones. Thank you for your co-operation".
