https://linktr.ee/thecompassionatefriendsuk HELPLINE: The Compassionate Friends Telephone Helpline is open 365 days a year. Your call is always answered by a bereaved parent who is there to listen and offer support anyone who has lost a child, grandchild or sibling. Open every day 10am-4pm and 7-10pm. You can ring if you are struggling today, need to talk, or perhaps would like info about local su

FORUM: The Compassionate Friends also has an online Forum where you can 'talk' with and get support from other bereaved parents. You do have to register for this, which may take 24-48 hours to process. This is to ensure complete security for you. But it is an absolutely wonderful support. The FORUM is accessible on the TCF website - www.tcf.org.uk. Click on Forum (along the top bar) and then Register (on the left hand side) - then follow the instructions.

Join an informal walk-and-talk with other bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents.

Our volunteers offer these walks as a safe, more relaxed space where you might share about your special person with those who understand your grief, and hopefully find small enjoyment in exploring the outdoors.

Around the UK, 64 bereaved parents volunteer their time to run monthly support groups - connecting fellow grieving parents in their local area.

These communities help bereaved parents to feel less alone and more able to cope with day-to-day life, knowing that they understand each other's grief and can offer each other gentle compassion and support.
