Monthly Grief Support Meetings

Meetings are open to parents, step and grandparents and siblings of families that have suffered the loss of a child, grandchild or sibling. 

Know there will be sadness and tears as we talk about our losses, but there will also be joy and laughter as we remember special times with our children. Together, we learn that we are not alone in our grief.

Lending Library

A library of grief-related books are available at each meeting and may be checked out by members.  Book loans and other brochures and materials are made available free of charge.

Donations Welcome

The Compassionate Friends, Tallahassee does not receive any funding to provide these much needed services and programs; instead it relies heavily upon the generosity and kindness of donors and fundraising initiatives.

Every gift, however small, is greatly appreciated.
