Chapter Notes Welcome to the 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 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 |
