The Compassionate Friends (UK) The Compassionate Friends - An organisation of bereaved parents offering support and understanding to other parents whose child has died. Sadly, every year, hundreds of parents suffer the most devastating loss thinkable - the loss of their child. For a parent, there is nothing worse. How do we begin to comprehend the immensity of our loss? And how do we learn to cope in such unfamiliar territory? We feel totally unprepared for what seems an impossible task, that of learning to live without our child. The Compassionate Friends can provide support in different ways - only another bereaved parent can fully understand the pain and anguish of your child's untimely death. Their willingness to listen and their gentle encouragement may give you the strength you need to carry on. You may find it helpful to attend meetings in your area, or share experiences on a one-to-one basis through home visits, website, letters or the telephone. Information on grief and suggestions from other bereaved parents can be found in the TCF quarterly newsletter and in the comprehensive TCF postal library. A range of leaflets and articles on many different aspects of grief is also available from TCF (details from the National Office or website). Should you wish to know more then further information is available on http://www.tcf.org.uk or call the helpline on 08451 23 23 04 or email locally tabatas@btinternet.com The Compassionate Friends (UK) |
