Family Bereavement

Lory's Place is a family service center founded by Hospice at Home. Its mission is to provide peer support group services for grieving children and their families throughout Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana. The Center is a focal point for raising awareness and supporting the needs of children and adults who grieve. Lory's Place provides a safe, comforting atmosphere in which grief healing can take place following the death of a family member or an important friend. The center also offers an Anticipatory Grief program to assist those experiencing the anticipated death of a loved one due to illness or disease. Children and their families learn to work through their grief and begin the healing process by sharing feelings, experiences, and memories with peers in a support group setting.
