each hummer becomes lifeless and seems to die on cold nights, but it
comes back to life again when the miraculous sunrise brings warmth.
Compassionate Friends of Southside Virginia http://www.tcfsouthside.org/about.htm
Back in the mid 90's, several families of Southside Virginia were grief
stricken by the loss of their child or children. In their attempt to
search for help to aid their
grief, a support group in Richmond called "The
Compassionate Friends" was discovered. After travelling to Richmond to
attend several of the monthly TCF meetings, they
realized a real need existed within Southside
Virginia in establishing their own support group. Therefore they joined
forces and started making plans and completing
necessary requirements to start a local TCF chapter.
In October 1999, the first official TCF support meeting was held in
Victoria, VA. Their meetings were later moved
to meet in Kenbridge due to being a more centralized
location for those traveling from directions throughout the Southside
area.
