| The
evergreen is a symbol of faithfulness for it remains green even when
other plants seem dead and drap. It reminds us of what we know
already: that nothing dies; rather, life is only transformed into
new life. For this reason, the Angel's Tree of Light - an
evergreen decorated with angels bearing the names of our children -
has become a very meaningful remembrance, and for some families an
important new traditions. |

History
| BBereaved
Families of Ontario (BFO) was initiated in 1978 by four bereaved
mothers as a self-help, mutual aid program under the auspices of the
Chaplaincy Department of the Hospital for Sick Children. In July
1984, a grant from the Trillium Foundation enabled the organization
to became a provincial body. Durham Region became an affiliate in
October 1993 "and a strong team of volunteers". Our chapter provides
support services, public awareness, and volunteer training in our
Region.
