What parents have said about The Compassionate Friends:
I lost my son very suddenly, and my world was shattered. I did not know what to do or who to turn to. I was dizzy and sick and neither slept nor ate. I am still in pain but I have had reassurance from people who understand, and this has helped me in my many darkest moments and continues to, thank you each and every one at The Compassionate Friends
It'is only bereaved parents that understand how life-changing losing a child can be. I know without the support of The Compassionate Friends my grief journey would be much harder.
If it wasn't for the wonderful people I've met through The Compassionate Friends I'd still be floundering in my own despair thinking I'm going crazy. I'll be forever grateful for that.
Thank you so much for providing so many resources. I was starting to worry I wasn't going to find the right organization to get help and you've given me a glimmer of hope. I can't thank you enough.
Just talking to a bereaved parent who is so compassionate and understanding and able to give to others at a time like this also gives me hope
