TCF Queensland hold support group meetings in various locations around the state. Our meetings are a safe environment for bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings to express themselves in the company of others who have lost a child or sibling and understand their grief.
At the meetings you will find people whose children have died from all ages and causes – people who will listen and understand what you are feeling. Like you, they are going through the grieving process. It can be a great comfort to be in the company of others who have been through a similar experience.
