TCF MISSION STATEMENT

When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family.

If you are considering suicide, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, access the web site 988lifeline.org, call 911, or go to your local emergency room.
