Compassionate Friends of Tallahassee

Grief Support After the Death of a Child

......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. The Compassionate Friends is a national nonprofit, self-help

support organization that offers friendship, understanding, and hope to bereaved

parents, grandparents, and siblings. There is no religious affiliation and there are no

membership dues or fees. The secret of the TCF's 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. The vision of The Compassionate Friends is that

everyone who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be helped.
