About Us
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
It was over 30 years ago when Lou-Ann Redmon, Founder and
Executive Director of The GriefCare Place, recognized that
widows needed support, encouragement and reassurance that
and what they were experiencing as grievers was normal. She
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.
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 thousands of 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 58 communities in Northeast Ohio and is committed to
bring hope and healing to broken hearts caused by the death
of a loved one.
