2026 Worldwide Candle Lighting 

The Compassionate Friends–Tallahassee Annual Candle Lighting Ceremony

You are warmly invited to join us for an evening of remembrance honoring our children, grandchildren, and siblings who have died.

This gathering offers a compassionate space to remember our loved ones alongside others who understand the grief of losing a child or sibling. Whether this season feels heavy, tender, or quietly reflective, please know you have a place here. Every story, every loved one’s name, and every family matters. You are welcome exactly as you are.

Together, we will honor the love we continue to carry and find comfort in remembrance, connection, and shared understanding.
