GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP TO OFFER SUPPORT OF FAMILY AFTER A CHILD DIES

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP TO OFFER SUPPORT OF FAMILY AFTER A CHILD DIES

The Inland Empire Chapter of The Compassionate Friends is excited to announce the starting of a satellite meeting in Murrieta. “Our Riverside chapter has felt the need to grow out into the Southwest region of Riverside County for some time now, and provide support for families who have lost a child,” stated Kristan Lloyd, the chapter facilitator. “About 50% of the calls and new attendees are from the Temecula Valley.”

The new location is set to meet at the Fountain Glen at Grand Isle Clubhouse, 24405 Village Walk Place, Murrieta, CA 92462 on August 27th, 2015 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

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 helps others better assist the grieving family.

In the United States, it is expected that over 100,000 infants, children, teenagers, and young adults will die this year. In addition, more than 25,000 families can be expected to face a stillbirth and nearly 600,000 an early pregnancy loss. A child’s death at any age, from any cause, is a shattering experience for a family. When a child dies, a family can turn to The Compassionate Friends self-help bereavement organization for the emotional support needed during the long grief journey that lies ahead.
