The Compassionate Friends is open to all families that have experienced the death of a child from any cause, at any age, from pre-birth to adulthood.  Bereaved families can find hope, healing and the will to survive.   

Local Chapter meetings are held every 3rd Tuesday at 7:00PM for bereaved parents and their families at Wylie United Methodist Church, 1401 FM 1378 at McMillen, 972-442-5835.

Sharing with others is the very heart of TCF.  Chapter meetings are havens where members feel free to talk about their children who have died; the emotions they are going through; the painful, thoughtless comments that may have been made to them; their feelings of sadness, guilt or anger -- subjects no one else wants to hear them talk about.  They discuss the progress they are making and ways of coping that have been helpful to them.
