Open to: Parents, step-parents, grandparents, and siblings grieving the loss of a child, grandchild, or sibling.
Our meetings provide a safe and supportive space to share your experiences, connect with others who understand, and find comfort in shared memories. While sadness is a natural part of the grieving process, we also believe in celebrating the lives of our loved ones. Together, we discover strength and resilience.
Our lending library offers a selection of grief-related books and resources to support your journey. Feel free to borrow books and other materials at no cost.
These resources are available at each meeting for your convenience.
The Compassionate Friends of Tallahassee is a completely volunteer-run organization. We rely solely on the generosity of our community to provide essential support services and programs.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact on the lives of grieving families. Your contribution helps us maintain our meeting space, purchase grief-related materials, and continue offering a vital support system.
Thank you for considering a donation to our chapter.

Join The Compassionate Friends of Tallahassee for the Worldwide Candle Lighting on Sunday, December 13, 2026, in the sanctuary and fellowship hall at St Stephen Lutheran Church.
Held each year on the second Sunday in December, this global remembrance brings families together to honor children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles burn for one hour in each time zone, a wave of light travels around the world in their memory.
Together, we will remember our children, grandchildren, and siblings, honor the love we continue to carry, and find comfort in knowing we are not alone.
We will announce the evening's schedule and times soon.
Join us in Phoenix, AZ, for the 50th National Compassionate Friends Conference!

Dates: July 15-18, 2027
