Comment: | The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a nationwide organisation of bereaved parents offering friendship and understanding to other bereaved parents after the death of a son or daughter of any age and from any cause whatsoever.
For general administration, membership queries and publications orders, phone 0845-120-3785 (open 9:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday) . Those who need to talk to someone about the loss of their child, grandchild or sibling should call the Helpline, which is always answered by a bereaved parent who is there to listen when you need someone to talk to. They can also put you in touch with your nearest Local Contact and provide you with information. The Helpline also offers support and information to those supporting bereaved families. It is open every day of the year - 10:00am to 4:00pm and 6:30 to 10:30pm.
The service is one of befriending rather than counselling. A quarterly Newsletter is produced, there is a postal library and a range of leaflets and booklets are available. |
