Welcome to the Fairfax Chapter of The Compassionate Friends

The loss of a child, at any age and from any cause, is one of the most difficult, painful and traumatic experiences in life.  This loss is so devastating for parents, siblings and grandparents, that it can’t be compared to any other type of loss.  Simply, there are no words for the depth of pain you feel.  But you are not alone.

Through The Compassionate Friends (TCF) we reach out in friendship and support to offer sympathy, understanding and hope.  Our purpose is to help bereaved families in the positive resolution of grief following the loss of a child, sibling or grandchild. Through sharing, we learn from others who are also walking this journey.

You will be forever changed after the loss of a child. But through the grieving process you will learn to cope and heal.  We are here to help you all along the way.
