The Compassionate Friends of Atlanta - Tucker chapter

5.0(1 review)
5.5 mi

The Compassionate Friends is a nonprofit which offers support to bereaved families suffering…read moreintense pain, hopeless and isolation when a child at any age dies. TCF's mission is to "provide comfort, hope and support" to every family experiencing the death of a son or daughter, sibling or grandchild. There are 600 chapters across the country, the Atlanta chapters are in Lawrenceville, Marietta, Tucker, Duluth and Sandy Springs. Each chapter meets once a month on different days so you can attend as many as needed. There's an online newsletter and several active Facebook groups. So if you need support in the middle of the night, chances are someone else is also awake and available to chat. TCF is a group that no-one wants to belong to because you've experienced heartbreak and unspeakable tragedy. But there are people who understand because they've been there. There are no counselors, only those speaking from their own experience. It's free and even though the meetings are held at a church, it's not religious based. The Tucker chapter is the only one with a separate sibling group but siblings are welcome at any chapter meeting. When you come to your first meeting, you may see a table decorated with pictures and mementos. That means someone is celebrating their child's birthday or "angelversary." There may be a table with their sibling or grand-childs favorite dessert on it to share. You might see members wearing photo buttons with their loved one on it, provided by TCF too. A name tag might say 'Tina's sister' instead of her own name. You stand in a circle holding hands and if you are able, say why you are there. You're told that everything is confidential and that you aren't there to give advice but to share what works for you. Then, you are split up into small groups to share, cry or be silent and comforted. Because the first group can be immensely hard, you're encouraged to visit at least three times. There is a lending library with helpful resources on grief and people often make bookmarks or gifts for holidays, they may give a rose or send a card on your loved ones birthday. There is a candle light vigil in December. There is an amazing annual convention every year that is reasonably priced. An Amazon Smile page allows you to choose TCF Atlanta as your charity so a percentage of the proceeds will go there. As a nonprofit, it's entirely donation based and it's a lifeline to families in need. In short, TCF offers no judgement for grieving families, only comfort, love and support. "There are no strangers at TCF meetings, only friends you haven't met yet."
