GRIEF RESOURCES

The Compassionate Friends (TCF) website is an award winning site, which has information on TCF Chapters throughout the country and provides information to assist families in the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child or sibling. At CompassionateFriends.org , you will find information on its online support community (chat); sibling resources, and links to many other organizations that help bereeaved families, and much more.

WebMD.com children.webmd.com/death-of-a-child-fetal-loss describes a number of good programs which help families who have lost a child.

For additional support, we recommend the TCF Facebook page. It is a closed Group and available 24/7. You will be asked a couple of questions to confirm your are bereaved, which is to ensure the Group is not subjected to outsiders, trolls, hackers, etc. There are numerous modules for specific needs of grief support and all are moderated by volunteers.
