"Compassion is one of the most honored and saintly feelings because it marches up to the front lines of suffering and says, 'take me.' In this giving of oneself there is a direct experience of pain, yet in the giving there is love. Thus compassion has the power to dissolve pain by not avoiding it, but by trusting that love affords the greatest protection." -Deepak Chopra

Hello my name is Robert and I am from North New Jersey Chapter of the Compassionate Friends. We hope this website will be help and provide you with the information you need in your time of loss.

We are a nonprofit, self-help support organization, we offer friendship and understanding to families who are grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. We have learned the death of our child has caused a pain that can best be understood fully by another bereaved parent. Knowing that we all need love and support, we reach out as our own grief subsides, to those who still feel alone and abandoned.
