The Compassionate Friends NZ
Sibling's - Credo
Introduction
Let’s not forget the brothers and sisters of our children who have gone too soon
- We are the surviving siblings of The Compassionate Friends.
- We are brought together by the deaths of our brothers and sisters.
- Open your hearts to us, but have patience with us.
- Sometimes we will need the support of our friends.
- At other times we need our families to be there.
- Sometimes we must walk alone, taking our memories with us,continuing to become the individuals we want to be.
- We cannot be our dead brother or sister; however, a special part of them lives on with us.
- When our brothers and sisters died, our lives changed.
- We are living a life very different from what we envisioned, and we feel the responsibility to be strong even when we feel weak.
- Yet we can go on because we understand better than many others the value of family and the precious gift of life.
- Our goal is not to be the forgotten mourners that we sometimes are, but to walk together to face our tomorrows as surviving siblings of The Compassionate Friends.
