SELF HELP

Grief Support after the Death of a Child
The Compassionate Friends is a unique organization that no one wants to join. There are no membership fees - the price of membership is the death of a child, which makes our organization the most expensive membership in the world.

The Compassionate Friends was founded in England in 1969, the United States in 1972, and Canada in 1977 and currently operates as separate entities in nearly 30 countries around the world.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT ~ The Compassionate Friends, an International, non-denominational, non-profit, volunteer self-help organization, offering friendship, understanding, grief education and HOPE for the future to families who have experienced the death of a child at any age, from any cause.

TCF is a self-help group for the special needs of parents who have experienced the death of a child.

TCF assist families toward the positive reconciliation of grief following the death of a child and foster the physical and emotional health of bereaved parents and their surviving children.

TCF provide information and education about bereaved parents, their surviving children and the grieving process.

TCF help those in the community including family, friends, employers, co-workers, and professionals to be supportive.

The Compassionate Friends success is simple: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal.
