Grief support after the death of a child The mission of 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 - Honolulu Chapter is a part of
a national nonprofit, self-help support organization which 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. The secret of TCF's success is simple: 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.
The vision of The Compassionate Friends is that everyone
who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be
helped. TCF - Honolulu Monthly Meetings The 1st Saturday of each month Place: Waikiki Yacht Club 1599 Ala Moana Blvd. Parking is available
at Ala Moana Shopping Center You may come late, leave early.You are not required to talk. Just listening is OK! It takes courage to come to the first meeting-bring a friend or relative to lean on if you wish. You will find that it's all right to laugh or cry, to share exactly how you feel, or to say nothing at all. You are not alone. TCF - Honolulu Chapter Newsletters The Compassionate Friends-Honolulu Chapter publishes a newsletter
in memory of our loved ones every three months. If you are
interested in receiving a copy, please call the phone number above,
email your request to dave.pellegrin@tcfhonolulu.org
or write to the TCF-Honolulu Chapter, at the address above. Discovery Channel Needs Your Videotape Did your child die from a long-term illness? In this situation, many families make a video record of the last few months, weeks, and days as a way of creating lasting memories of the child with the family. The Discovery Channel will be hosting a new series, as yet unnamed, that allows people to honor a loved one through video footage they have shot. One episode of this new show will focus on grief and grief support. According to co-producer Blake Levin, “We are looking for people that kept video journals, diaries, or even videotaped a loved one leading up to their passing. We are hoping that there are people . . . that used the medium of video to help deal with their own grief. The goal of this new series is to honor a loved one.” As a public awareness initiative, The Compassionate Friends is assisting Mr. Levin in his search for families that have journaled through videotape the time leading up to death of a child within their family. In return for the successful help of TCF in this endeavor, the organization will be recognized during and at the end of the program. If you feel that you have videotape that could be used on this program, please e-mail Mr. Levin with your name, where you are located, and a description of the footage. Please write him at YourDocs2007@arp.tv and cc Wayne Loder, TCF’s public awareness coordinator at wayne@compassionatefriends.org.TCF - Honolulu Chapter Committee Chapter Leader & Webmaster: Michele
