Welcome to Gabby’s Grief Center, where grievers are never alone and healing begins with connection.
Gabby’s is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We provide compassionate, no-cost support for individuals of all ages—children, teens, adults, and families. Support is available both before and after a death loss. Whether your grief is new or has been years in the making, we walk beside you with care, empathy, and a sense of community.
We are located in Monroe, Michigan. Our reach includes Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio. We are just 30 minutes from Detroit, Toledo, and Ann Arbor. Our goal is to make grief support more accessible to the communities that need it most.
We offer a space grounded in compassion. Here, individuals feel seen, heard, and supported. Many find it difficult to lean on family or friends after a loss. At Gabby’s, they discover hope through connection in a safe, judgment-free space.
What We Offer
• Peer support groups for children, teenagers, and adults
• Specialized support before and after death
• Social wellness activities and healing-oriented events
• Community workshops, professional education, grief-informed workplace training, and advocacy.
Our center is more than just a place; it’s a welcoming community where individuals of all ages come together to honor their grief, express their feelings, and find hope as they navigate their journey forward.
Where Healing Begins, Together… All grievers. All ages. Always at no cost.
