"We never thought for a moment that, instead of a crib, we'd need a casket. Instead of reading books on parenting, we'd be reading prayer and sympathy cards."

When birth and death occur close together the loss can seem unbearable. BFO-HB provides a 10 week support group for parents who have experienced a miscarriage, still birth, or the death of an infant younger than 28 days. Each week, a different topic is discussed. Sessions are open to moms, dads, couples and singles who have experienced the death of their baby.

Q=When should you begin?

A=Whenever you are ready. Participants may include:

• Mothers and/or fathers whose loss is recent.
• Mothers and/or fathers whose loss was some time ago.

• Families who are coping with a subsequent pregnancy.

Our group support programs are facilitated by professionally trained bereaved volunteers. All support programs are supervised by qualified professionals.

We are taking registration for Autumn 2012.

Please contact the office at 905-318-0070 to register for the next available group.
