We Need Not Walk Alone ~ We are The Compassionate Friends
Support Meeting Schedule
2nd Thursday of every month
6pm - 8pm
Our monthly support group meetings are the heart of TCF. These gatherings provide a caring environment in which bereaved parents, adult siblings, and grandparents can talk freely about the emotions and experiences they are going through and receive the understanding support of others who have “been there”.
Our Mission
When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and help others better assist the grieving family. The Compassionate Friends (TCF) touches hundreds of people in the Rome community each year.
The holiday season is not far away and fast approaching. We will be decorating our TCF Memorial tree and it will displayed on Broad Street again this year.
We're excited to tell you that this year we will be using new ornaments. The ornaments we've used for the past five plus years are no longer available. Over the years we've had some break and we were able to replace them. That is no longer possible nor are we able to offer a newly bereaved parent or sibling an ornament.
The new ornament will include your child's picture and their name on the front. We feel good about these replacements and believe you'll be happy with a larger image of your child. There will be NO cost to you for the one for the TCF Memorial tree; however donations will be appreciated.
You will need to send a copy of the picture to: TCFRomepictures@gmail.com.
Pictures that are lighter do much better. Please send your pictures soon so we can begin the process of making them as soon as possible. Also, so they will be ready to put on the tree in November.
You may want to buy one for your home. If you are interested the cost will be $10.00 each. Your payment may be sent through any of these methods:
Cash App to: $warangel212
Venmo to: @angela-warren-45
Paypal to: @tcfromepictures
Thank you in advance for your quick response.
