Grief in the Young Child


We’re ready to listen

Do you need to talk about your child, grandchild or sibling who has died? Would you like information about the Piedmont Chapter of The Compassionate Friends? Do you need a ride to a monthly meeting? We have members who are willing to listen to you or talk to you specifically about the death of children due to AIDS, cancer, infant death, miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden death, suicide and other causes. Contact us at pctcf@avenue.org and one of our members will get in touch with you. We are not professionals, but rather Compassionate Friends from the Charlottesville, Virginia area who know what it feels like to suffer life’s ultimate loss.
