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 local chapters in the United States and many 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. There is a free monthly newsletter 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 in 2011 are: Jan. 12, Feb. 9, Mar. 9, Apr. 13, May 11, Jun. 8, Jul. 13, Aug. 10, Sep. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9, Dec. 14.
