Resources
Our best resource is our members. Come to a meeting and meet with people who have really walked the walk. You won’t need to wear a mask and will be with people who will listen.
The national website has many resources available. These include live chats in a moderated “room”, brochures, webinars, and many other things. The website is www.thecompassionatefriends.org
Recently added are a group of Facebook pages to assist you: The Compassionate Friends offers a variety of closed Facebook Groups. These pages are moderated by bereaved parents, siblings, or grandparents, and may not be accessed unless a request to join is approved by a moderator. These pages were established to encourage connection and sharing among parents, grandparents, and siblings grieving the death of a child, grandchild or sibling.

Our local chapter newsletter contains articles concerning various aspects of grief, as well as a listing of the children, grandchildren, and siblings from our chapter. The listing is at the discretion of the parent, grandparent or sibling. If you would like to receive the newsletter, please fill in the request form, and mail it to Rhonda Temple.

At the meetings, you are welcome to check out a variety of books on grief from our library. We just ask that you return them when you are finished with them.
