The Compassionate Friends support bereaved parents with a helpline, support groups and retreats

The Compassionate Friends support bereaved and grieving parents whose child has died at any age and of any cause whether by illness, addiction, suicide or accident. We run a daily helpline run by other bereaved parents and support groups nationwide. We also run retreats for recently bereaved parents and adult siblings. We also offer some limited one to one support where there are no support groups. All our support is offered by volunteers, themselves bereaved parents.
