About Compassionate Friends The Compassionate Friends is a self-help organization offering friendship, understanding and hope to bereaved families that have experienced the death of a child. The purposes are to support and aid parents in the positive resolution of the grief experience upon the death of their child of any age, and to foster the physical and emotional health of bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings.
Our CredoWe need not walk alone. We are The
Compassionate Friends. We reach out to each other with love, with understanding,
and with hope. Our children have died at all ages and from many different
causes, but our love for our children unites us. Your pain becomes my pain just
as your hope becomes my hope. We come together from all walks of life, from many
different circumstances. We are a unique family because we represent many races
and creeds. We are young, and we are old. Some of us are far along in our grief,
but others still feel a grief so fresh and so intensely painful that we feel
helpless and see no hope. Some of us have found our faith to be a source of
strength; some of us are struggling to find answers. Some of us are angry,
filled with guilt or in deep depression; others radiate an inner peace. But
whatever pain we bring to this gathering of The Compassionate Friends, it is
pain we will share just as we share with each other our love for our children.
We are all seeking and struggling to build a future for ourselves, but we are
committed to building that future together as we reach out to each other in love
and share the pain as well as the joy, share the anger as well as the peace,
share the faith as well as the doubts and help each other to grieve as well as
to grow. Greenville Chapter Steering Committee Members Julia Muirhead, Jill Schmidt, Nona Walser, Debbie Etherington, Judy Lackey, Janis Gow, Norman and Alice Raiford, Johnny Williams, Margaret and Dick Renner, Tim and Theresa Childs
