I would like to suggest this organization to anyone that has lost a child. I found them to be an island in the sea that I was drowning in after losing Amanda. Even if it has been years since the death, there is always someone there to help you. I attended several of the national conferences and the support and guidance that is offered is unmeasurable. They also have a great network for helping siblings deal with grief too.
“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.”
