Pittsburgh Chapter
The Compassionate Friends - Pittsburgh Chapter is a support community for bereaved parents, siblings, and grandparents. We meet once a month (usually the last Sunday of most months) to provide support and fellowship to our grieving members. If you have experienced the death of a child, sibling or grandchild, we are sorry that you happened to find our company, but you are in the right place to connect with others who understand what you are going through. Each member of TCF is a bereaved parent, grandparent, or sibling. We find solace, warmth and comfort here in the compassionate friendship of others, especially in the initial years of grieving and healing.
Chapter News
Monthly Meetings Update - Our meeting place, Bower Hill Community Church, is now no longer requiring masks to be worn indoors, based on the latest guidance from the CDC. If you join us at an upcoming meeting, you won't need to wear a mask if that is something you are comfortable with. Of course, if you want to continue to wear one, that is fine too! Now that we are back to in-person meetings, we hope to see more of our members attending every month.
