The
Compassionate Friends 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 of strength; some of us are struggling to find answers. Some of
us are angry, filled with guilt or in 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 a 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 to grieve as
well as to grow.
WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE
WE ARE THE COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS
