For those needing help to get through their grief
journey, the Compassionate Friends offers live online chats. This program was
established to encourage connecting and sharing among parents, grandparents,
and siblings over the age of 18 who are grieving the death of a child. These
chat rooms supply support, encouragement and friendship and encourage conversation
among friends who understand the emotions you are experiencing. The following
are general bereavement sessions as well as more specific sessions based on
Eastern time. The views expressed in this Online Support Community are the
opinions of individual visitors and do not necessarily represent the views of
the organization. Visit Compassionate Friends.org for additional information of how to get on to these chat rooms.
