The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon. As candles are lit at 7:00 pm local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon. The Virtual option gives you the opportunity to invite those in your life that would not normally be able to attend the event with you. It is also for those who have moved away or would rather not attend in person. More information will be provided prior to the event.
PAST EVENTS:
TCF 47th Annual National Conference
July 12, 2024 thru July 14, 2024 in New Orleans, LA
The Compassionate Friends National Conference was held in New Orleans this past July. The weekend was spent surrounded by other bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. It is a place where hope grows and friendships are made with others who truly understand. With inspirational keynote speakers, abundant workshops for everyone’s wants and needs, and a remembrance candle lighting program culminating with the annual Walk to Remember, this time of healing and hope is the gift we give ourselves. Join us as together we remember and share the everlasting love we have for our precious children, siblings and grandchildren.
