Mixed loss group

Living with Loss is a peer grief support group for adults 18+. This is a space to connect with others are grieving a death of any kind. It runs monthly from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

You do not have to attend every group session. You are welcome to join at any point in your grief journey and attend for as long as you need the support. All Living with Loss groups are led by two trained peer support volunteers who are also grieving a death.

Living with Loss groups run virtually AND in-person on the first Tuesday of the month from 7-9 p.m. and virtually on the third Tuesday of the month. (In-person groups take place in Kitchener at the Westmount Memorial Celebration Centre).

YOU MUST REGISTER FOR EACH GROUP YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND. Space is limited, so only register if you know you can join. To cancel your registration, email support@bfomidwest.org or call 519-603-0196.

Registration closes at 4:00 p.m. on the day the group meets.

PLEASE NOTE: Our groups pause for the summer and don’t run for the months of July and August.
