The Compassionate Friends:

The Compassionate Friends is about transforming the pain of grief into the elixir of hope. It takes people out of the isolation society imposes on the bereaved and lets them express their grief naturally. With the shedding of tears, healing comes. And the newly bereaved get to see people who have survived and are learning to live and love again.”

–Simon Stephens, founder of The Compassionate Friends

Providing Grief Support After the Death of a Child

When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated.

The Compassionate Friends is committed to helping every bereaved parent, sibling, or grandparent who may walk through our doors or contact us.

Our meetings are led by other bereaved parents and are free of charge.
