Mission
The GriefCare Place’s mission is to provide a SAFE PLACE where grievers gather together, under the guidance of a facilitator, to educate, encourage and uplift each other throughout the healing journey.
History
The vision for The GriefCare Place, formerly known as Redmon Grief Center, began over 25 years ago when Lou-Ann Redmon recognized a need evident in many of the widows she encountered through her work at the Redmon Funeral Home. They needed support, encouragement, and reassurance that what they were experiencing was normal. Lou-Ann realized the impact they could have on each other by coming together and finding support in one another. This is how the first support group began to grow, and the need to reach out to other grieving individuals in the community became apparent.
As the need for bereavement support grew, the vision for a stand-alone, non-profit organization specifically created to provide support for grieving children, adolescents, and adults was born.
The GriefCare Place was founded in June of 1997, by Lou-Ann Redmon and other volunteers, to fulfill that vision.
Since that time, The GriefCare Place has not only served grieving individuals and families, but it has also been utilized by churches, social agencies, schools, extended care facilities, nursing, psychology, ministerial, and medical students, hospices, and other community organizations. The GriefCare Place currently serves 56 communities in Northeast Ohio.
