Michigan & National Death & Grief Resources

Finding good information when you're in the middle of grief or caregiving is exhausting. These are resources: hospice organizations, grief support groups, caregiver tools, and crisis lines I trust, organized by what you might be looking for right now.

This list covers Michigan resources and national options. It's updated as I find things worth adding. This page is educational and doesn't replace medical or mental health care.

You can also find plain-language guides on death, grief, hospice, and caregiving on our blog →
