There are no time limits to grief. Many families contact TCF very early in their grief, others don't hear about us for many years. If the need to talk is there, Compassionate Friends will listen. Making Contact: Bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents may make contact personally by phoning or sending an SMS to our phone numbers or by e-mail. Use the 'Contact Us ' Tab for all details. A message for Bereaved Parents and Siblings At The Compassionate Friends you will find the special understanding of those who have "been there". There are no pressures to talk or not talk, to cry or not cry, just a chance to be yourself, to have time-out.
The Compassionate Friends offers a safe haven, a listening and understanding ear, a place where you can let down the masks, and if you wish, talk about your son or daughter who has died.
The Compassionate Friends offers no miracle cure, just comfort and the consolation and hope that broken threads can be picked up again.
"WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE
WE ARE THE COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS" The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive.
