Wherever you are in the world, light a candle in memory of a child that died. The Worldwide Candlelighting was started by the Compassionate Friends, and international organization that supports friends and families after the death of a child.

Visit The Compassionate Friends and their new website for more information.

The Compassionate Friends offers support groups for adults grieving the death of a child (of any age) and have support groups all around the world, including many in our local area.

The Compassionate Friends also sponsor an annual conference/retreat for families.  The next conference will be in the summer of 2009 in Portland, Oregon.
