        Welcome to the Brazoria County Chapter of The Compassionate Friends.  We are sorry for the reason you are here, but we are glad you found us and hope you find comfort.  To our newest members, we realize that coming to the first meeting is the hardest, and we sincerely hope you find someone or some words that will help you in your grief journey.  We need not walk alone. 

        Our recently formed chapter came together for our first meeting in July 2007 when we released balloons to the heavens in memory of our beloved children.  Parents, friends, and family members are always welcome to attend TCF meetings.  Our children were of different ages and passed away of various causes, but we are bound together by our common experience and the desire to keep their memories alive.

        The Compassionate Friends offers hope, reassurance, and a safe place to talk about our children with others who know firsthand what we are feeling.

        Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for browsing in the library and visiting over coffee, soft drinks, and Rosalind’s delicacies.  New members are invited to come at this time to meet with one of our chapter leaders.  May the memory of your precious child find a place of comfort within our circle of friendship.

November 2008

November 2008

The beginning of November ushers in the holiday season, and with it a myriad of painful emotions and reactions for the bereaved. Grief during this time can seem overwhelming. The discussion topic for our November meeting will be “Coping with the Holidays.” Whether this is your first holiday season without your child or the twentieth, please join us to share your input, feelings and wisdom.

We will also discuss the upcoming Candle Lighting Ceremony which is held annually around the world in memory of our children. Family members and friends are welcome to attend this remembrance program. A candle will be lit for each child represented, and music and readings will be included. You may bring a light refreshment to share in the fellowship hall after the program.

Even if you cannot attend the ceremony, you may wish to light a candle in your home on this evening to join others in remembering the light that will always shine in our hearts. May you find support and comfort during this holiday season.

- Robin Goddard
