What We Do
Bereaved Families of Ontario – Toronto is a local charitable organization that supports individuals, families and groups experiencing grief from the death of a loved one. Since 1978, we have supported thousands of people through our peer support model by offering one-to-one sessions and peer support groups.
No matter when, how, or who you lost, we provide an environment and resources to help you in your grief journey. We travel the road together. We can help the healing begin.
It took a long time for me to be ready for help, but when I was, BFO-Toronto was there for me. The people and stories helped me find a healthy perspective and taught me how to cope with my new life.
The BFO Spousal Loss Group provides a gay positive space where I can process, share and learn from the experiences of my ‘grief buddies’.
“I think it’s so important to have groups like these, to connect to people going through similar journeys, and ultimately to learn how to grow after grief.”
In summer 2022, I was enrolled in a BFO group, which absolutely helped save my life. The volunteers were warm, relatable, and compassionate, and the group consisted of lovely people, each with a unique experience but brought together united by the love we harboured, and the great loss we experienced.
