The Compassionate Friends

Support for families after a child of any age has died, from any cause, given by others who have lost a child too.

Good to know

Local chapters, online groups, and private Facebook groups are all free. Grandparents and siblings are welcome as well.

They can

help you find a local chapter: the chapter locator searches by state and zip code
offer online support and private Facebook groups if a chapter meeting is not convenient
welcome families whose child died at any age, including pre-birth, from any cause, and bereaved siblings and grandparents
let you come to a chapter meeting without a reservation or a charge, and without having to talk

They cannot

welcome children of every age at a meeting: they ask that any children who come with you be old enough to understand the discussions and not be upset by them; some chapters have sibling groups for children twelve or older
