For bereaved families searching for in-person support, our nationwide network of local chapter groups is ready to welcome you. Our chapters offer those grieving an outlet to connect with others who share in the profound experience of the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild.

The Compassionate Friends is here to support the unique journeys of those grieving, offering resources, community, and hope to all who are impacted by the death of a child, grandchild, or sibling. Visit our website to find a local chapter or online group.

We would love for our TCF community to share their thoughts to our question, "For our bereaved dads, as we approach Father’s Day, how best can your family and friends support you in your grief?" #GriefSupport #GriefCommunity

For many fathers, they bear the weight of providing strength and comfort to their families while also navigating their own shattering grief. This loss can feel especially poignant on celebratory occasions when a child’s absence is painfully evident.

If you are a father who is navigating life after the death of a child, you are not alone. Grief is enduring, and at The Compassionate Friends, we hope you take comfort today in knowing that others walk with you.

David Wood shares in a "A Letter to the Newly Bereaved." Visit our website to read the full article.

July is Bereaved Parents Awareness Month. The Compassionate Friends is thinking of our friends and family who have been going through one of the hardest losses, the death of their beloved child or children. Visit our website to find a local chapter or online support.

The death of a child is an enduring loss that has a lasting impact on the life of parents. The depth of grief and pain experienced by parents after the death of a child cannot be fully understood if you have not lived that experience yourself.

We are so excited to start welcoming attendees to TCF's 48th National Conference in Bellevue. #TCF2025 #tcfbellevue #tcfnationalconference #tcfsibs
