The Compassionate Friends Queensland Inc. publishes a quarterly magazine made up of informative articles, original writings and personal favourite verses from fellow bereaved parents and siblings. Our stories are shared in the hope that they may provide support and comfort to others experiencing the death of a child. It also provides times and locations of meetings, upcoming events, memorial/birthday notices for our beloved children, and an up-to-date list of all our support phone numbers.
Our newsletter “HUGG” is available either in printed or electronic format and is provided at no charge to bereaved families for the first 6 months. After this time, families must take out annual membership subscription to continue receiving the newsletter (to cover printing and postage costs).
Please let us know if any of your details are incorrect. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Centre during office hours by phone, fax, mail or email. This is provided at no charge to bereaved families for the first 6 months. After this time, families must take out annual membership subscription to continue receiving the newsletter (to cover printing and postage costs).
