The Canadian Forces (CF) recognizes the contribution of all military families in support of Canada, especially those loved ones of CF personnel who have died while serving.
Grief is an individual journey. Your needs and those of your family will be different and may change over time. That's why as long as you and your family need support from the CF community, we will be there to assist.
While access to some services may depend on your relationship to the deceased, wide-ranging support to assist your unique situation is available to you regardless of the circumstances of death.

HOPE PROGRAM
|
The HOPE (Helping Our Peers by providing Empathy) program is for military families who have lost a loved one who served in the Canadian Forces (CF), either active or retired, Regular or Reserve Force. The loss may be attributed to military service or any other cause. HOPE matches trained peer volunteers to bereaved families.
The HOPE program began in 2006 and included input from bereaved families who wanted to support others. Having gone through similar experience, the volunteers understand the grieving process that is unique to CF personnel and their families. |
