![]() The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive. The Compassionate Friends is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization that offers friendship, understanding, and hope to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. There is no religious affiliation and there are no membership dues or fees. The secret of TCF's success is simple: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal. The vision of The Compassionate Friends is that everyone who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be helped. The Alamo Area Chapter of The Compassionate Friends in San Antonio, Texas, welcomes you to our next meeting. Please contact us by email below - we would like to hear from you.
FOR A PARENT ON THE DEATH OF A CHILD No one knows the wonder
Now you sit bereft
You will wear this absence
Let the silent tears flow

| We Remember Our Children
At every meeting of The Compassionate Friends, we remember our children who have died. And during the month of a child's birthday, they are honored in a special way as parents bring pictures and special items of remembrances to place at the candle on the Birthday Table.
