We welcome you to a meeting!

Supporting Grieving Families with Compassion

The Compassionate Friends is a non-profit, self-help organization composed of bereaved parents, grandparents, and siblings.

We offer friendship and understanding. Anyone who has experienced the death of a child of any age, from any cause, is welcome. Our meetings give parents an opportunity to talk about their child/sibling and about the feelings they experience through the grieving process.

There is no religious affiliation. There are no membership dues. The purpose of this support group is not to focus on the cause of death or the age of the child/sibling, as it is to focus on being a bereaved parent, along with the feelings and issues that evolve around the death of a child.

BIRTHDAY MONTH MEETINGS

Your Child's Birthday

If it is your child's birthday month, we invite you to join our monthly meeting and share their story!

Birthdays hold treasured memories and are especially difficult for surviving parents and siblings; TCF offers a wonderful venue to honor and celebrate the precious life-story of your loved one.

You are welcome to bring a photo, memento, toy, award, or even their favorite snack to share!

This is a gentle reminder to all that love continues and grows with each passing year.
