      Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday the next meeting is Wednesday, November 19th at 7:30 pm at old St. Marys Knights of Columbus Hall , Fairfax, Va

The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a national, nonprofit, informal support group of bereaved 
families who meet together to learn
to cope with the grief and pain of living life without their child. 
We cannot take away the hurt, but we can help each other to hope again. Over the long-term we
try to
help each other to ge
t better. It helps to talk to someone who has been down this path 
before. We pass on what we have learned about the grief process and the steps toward
 recovering.

TCF attendees share with nonjudgmental and understanding listeners. We do not feature 
professional counselors or psychiatrists providing guidance; just people who share the loss 
of  a child. TCF offers comfort, hope, support, and help.

There are no dues and we welcome all bereaved parents, siblings, grandparents, and support
 people to our meetings. Our meetings include sharing and compassionate caring for each other. 
No one is required to talk unless he or she wishes to do so.

A large lending library of books and videotapes is available. Grief authors and researchers have 
provided a large amount of literature on how to handle grief and how to try to get better.

The Burke/Springfield/Fairfax TCF Chapter meets the fourth Wednesday of each month, 
at 7:30 PM at old St. Mary Knights of Columbus Hall, located next to the St. Mary's Historic Church and Cemetery in Fairfax, Va.
