Welcome to the BFO-Toronto blog! This is a place where you can come to learn, listen to others or to share your stories of grief. There is nothing more powerful than being able to tell your story and conversely, to hear someone else’s. Often, reading articles written by others can be a bereaved person’s first connection to someone else who has experienced a similar loss. If you feel compelled to share your story, article submissions can be emailed to communications@bfotoronto.ca.
