We need not walk alone.
We are The Compassionate Friends.
We reach out to each other with love,
with understanding and with hope.
Our children have died at all ages
And from many different causes,
but our love for our children unites us.
Your pain becomes my pain
just as your hope becomes my hope.
We come together from all walks of life,
from many different circumstances.
We are a unique family because
we represent many races and creeds.
We are young, and we are old.
Some of us are far along in our grief,
but others still feel a grief so fresh
and so intensely painful that
we feel helpless and see no hope.
Some of us have found our faith to be a
source of strength; some of us are
struggling to find answers.
Some of us are angry,
filled with guilt or in deep depression;
others radiate an inner peace.
But whatever pain we bring to this
gathering of The Compassionate
Friends, it is still a pain we will share
just as we share with each other
our love for our children.
We are all seeking and struggling
to build a future for ourselves, but
we are committed to building that
future together as we reach out to
each other in love
and share the pain as well as the joy,
share the anger as well as the peace,
share the faith as well as the doubts
and help each other
to grieve as well as to grow.
We need not walk alone.
We are The Compassionate Friends.
