Who We Are

The Compassionate Friends of North Central MA is a non-profit, self help organization offering friendship, understanding and hope for the future to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. Our primary purpose is to assist the bereaved in the positive resolution of the grief experienced upon the death of a child, grandchild and/or sibling. We support your efforts to achieve physical and emotional well-being and provide bereavement information and education. Additionally we help the community, family, friends, employers, co-workers and professionals to be supportive of your situation.
