Mission: The Compassionate Friends is to assist families in the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child and to provide information to help others be supportive.
The Compassionate Friends is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization that offers friendship and understanding to families who are grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. There is no religious affiliation. There are no membership fees or dues, and all bereaved family members are welcome.
Secret to Success: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal.
Meets at 7:30 pm the first Tuesday night each month at First Friends Church located at 2409 South 6th St, Marshalltown, IA.
