Who We Are

The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief
following the death of a child at any age and to provide information to help others be supportive.

We are a national nonprofit, self-help organization with over 600 chapters with locations in all 50 states
as well as Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other chapters worldwide.

Meetings

Our meetings are open to all family members who are grieving the death of a child. There is no religious
affiliation and no dues or fees, and we have a free lending library.

We offer a safe place for bereaved parents, grandparents, and siblings to meet and talk freely
about your child and your grief issues. No one is required to speak, but listening is expected.

Our meetings are held at 7:30 pm on the second Wednesday of every month
at Grace Lutheran Church, 11 E Dawes Ave, Somers Point, NJ 08244.

Meeting dates for 2023 are January 11, February 8, March 8, April 12, May 10, June 7,

July 12, August 9, September 13, October 11, November 8 and December 13.
