Compassionate Friends of Tallahassee

Meetings

We meet the second Monday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at St. Lutheran Church ,2198 N. Meridian Rd.

There is no cost to attend and there is no religious affliliation.

If I go to a meeting, will I have to talk?
No one is required to talk at any meeting. We understand that this can be difficult.

My child was an adult and didn't live at home. Can I still go to a meeting?
Meetings are open to all families who have experienced the death of a son or daughter, at any age, from any cause. Regardless of age, we believe our children will always be thought of as just that - our children.

What happens at a meeting?
Most often we start with an informal time to welcome people and serve coffee or water. The formal part of the meeting then begins with the group sharing their thoughts and feelings. At this time you may share as much or as little as you need.

My partner won't come. Can I come alone?
Yes. We all grieve differently and your partner may not be ready to take part now or ever.

Do I need to call someone to let them know I am coming?
No. Just come whenever you feel up to it.

My child died several years ago. Is it too late for me to attend now?
Many parents don't feel the need for a support group until years after the death of a child. It's alright to come whenever you are ready.
