The Compassionate Friends of Tampa Bay Area

Reach out anytime – I am here for you. Sometimes you will have questions about the monthly meetings and special events. In losing my youngest son, I too understand some of your pain. This is the most difficult journey I have ever experienced. The pain is immense. I just wanted you to know that I do understand. Everything in my life changed that day and I am not the same – how about you? The loss has altered us and changed our lives forever.

I do look forward to hearing from you. I know this is a really difficult time and so painful for you. You “need not walk alone.” Call when you just need someone to listen and understand. Send an email if you prefer to write.

Come to a meeting and see if that helps. I have never been one that attends grief support groups but I can tell you this has helped me to heal in ways I couldn’t have known were possible. Some of the healing is from sharing, some from meeting those that attend the Tampa Bay Compassionate Friends Chapter Meetings and learning from them. It is also helpful because we do understand each other’s experience with grief. Remember, you are not alone and we can get through this together.

Come to the next meeting at The Compassionate Friends of Tampa Bay – always on the first Thursday of every month.

And by all means call when you just need to talk. I am here for you.
