What we are about  

When a child dies, a parent's world is turned upside down. Life will never be the same again. The grief of this loss is the worst thing a parent will ever endure. You do not have to go through this grief process alone. There are other parents who have experienced the death of a child and can offer understanding and support. These parents make up
 The Compassionate Friends.

The Compassionate Friends is a mutual assistance, self-help organization offering friendship and understanding to bereaved parents and siblings. The primary purpose is to assist them in the positive resolution of the grief experienced upon the death of a child and to support their efforts to achieve physical and emotional health.
This is not just a group for parents of young children who have died. It is for any parents, no matter how old their child was when he/she died. The death does not have to be a recent death, either. Anyone who has lost a child is welcome to attend our meetings.
