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 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.

You can count me in on this. I believe that each of us sends out positive and negative energy. In a large group situation it can be very powerful. I have actually seen it demonstrated.:thumbsup

I have lit my candle and it is in the window. My daughter did not die as a child, but it is still hard to have lost her. You never stop grieving. You just remember them less often.
