Telephone a Friend

All of us have had days when the need to talk to someone who has experienced the grief we all share is unbearable. Please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call. Remember, you are not bothering us. Maybe we can't take away the pain, but we will try to ease it by listening. You are not alone. We have cried the same tears, walked in the same shoes and we know through our meetings the feelings we receive by sharing our grief, tears and pain.

If you have this need, please call:

Credo

We need not walk alone. We are The Compassionate Friends.We reach out to each other with love, with understanding and with hope. Our children have died at all ages and from many different causes, but our love for our children unites us.
Your pain becomes my pain just as your hope becomes my hope.
*We come together from all walks of life, from many different circumstances.
*We are a unique family because we represent many races and creeds.
*We are young, and we are old.
*Some of us are far along in our grief, but others still feel a grief so fresh and so intensely painful that we feel helpless and see no hope.
*Some of us have found our faith to be a source for strength; some of us are struggling to find answers.
*Some of us are angry, filled with guilt or in a deep depression; others radiate an inner peace.
But whatever pain we bring to this gathering of The Compassionate Friends, it is pain we will share just as we share with each other our love for our children.
We are all seeking and struggling to build a future for ourselves, but we are committed to building that future together as we reach out to each other in love and share the pain as well as the joy, share the anger as well as the peace, share the faith as well as the doubts and help each other grieve as well as to grow.
