The Compassionate Friends is a national peer support charity for bereaved parents and adult bereaved siblings (aged 18+) offering support after the death of a child, from one month old up to an adult child and from any cause. Our helpline support is facilitated by our bereaved parent volunteers who can listen and empathise. We also offer one to one telephone support to bereaved grandparents.
