A support and advocacy group for those who have lost one or both parents to infected Factor VIII & IX blood products.
About The Fatherless Generation
The importance of a support group for people who have lost their parents to infected blood products is immense. Losing a parent can be one of the most devastating events in a person's life and having the support of others in a similar situation can help to provide solace, comfort, and understanding.
The emotional effects of losing a parent due to infected blood products can be compounded by feelings of isolation and shame caused by the lack of recognition and understanding from others who have not had a similar experience. This is why having The Fatherless Generation provide a sense of community and understanding is incredibly important. In this group, members share their stories, provide emotional support to one another, and help each other navigate life in the aftermath of a parent's death.
This group provides an outlet for members to express their grievances and feelings of injustice regarding the way infected blood products have impacted their lives. Here, members share their stories and experiences with others who understand and empathise with them, and can offer support and advice.
For those who have lost a parent to infected blood products, having a supportive group is absolutely essential for their emotional well-being. It gives them the opportunity to connect with others who understand what they are going through, and provides an environment of understanding and empathy.
