The secret of TCF's success is simple: As seasoned grievers reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal. The vision of The Compassionate Friends is that everyone who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be helped.

TCF NATIONAL CONFERENCE Nashville, Tennesee July 18-20, 2008
Nashville, Tennessee, known as the home of country music, will be the host city for the 31st national conference of The Compassionate Friends July 18-20, 2008 at the Sheraton Music City Hotel. The conference committee selected the theme 'Volunteers for Healing-Friends for the Future', a name that is very appropriate as TCF national conferences are always regarded as great healing experiences and a great place to find friends for life. The 2008 conference will have special guest speakers and entertainers, more than 100 workshops covering most aspects of grief following the death of a child, and many additional activities including the ninth annual two mile Walk to Remember at 8am Sunday, July 20. To allow everyone to be a part of the 2008 conference committee experience, the committee plans to decorate the conference area with real 7" vinyl records that have pictures of our children in the center. To participate, download the Sponsor a Record order form and follow the instructions. Whether or not you are able to attend the conference, a child, sibling, grandchild, or loved one can still be remembered. Those who attend the conference and have a record made will be able to carry it home. Those unable to attend can have it mailed to them.	:
