Brighter Days

FAMILY GRIEF CENTER

Hope Begins Here.

Brighter Days Family Grief Center is an unparalleled “family-focused” grief center dedicated to grieving Minnesota families since 2017. We are the only nonprofit Family Grief Center in Minnesota providing free resources and services to all children, young adults, and adults who are grieving the terminal diagnosis or death of a beloved family member. Our model of care is truly exceptional, providing one-of-a-kind support logistically, psychosocially, and financially. We realize each family member grieves differently and, therefore, has different needs. Our goal is to help determine those needs and provide the resources to compassionately address them. We believe that HOPE begins HERE.

This place is amazing. Life changing. So much warmth, love, compassion and encouragement. When I felt like I could not go on, could not tread water anymore, they were there with a lifeline. ~Sandy Schlossin

Brighter Days Grief Center is a beacon of light and avenue of hope for those struggling with grief, providing resources for body, mind, soul, and spirit. I would hope Brighter Days becomes a template for other centers across our nation as they are a true example of proactive grieving and what shining by example is; it’s being there when the need is there. ~Mitch Carmody, Kelly's dad

I truly do not have the words to describe how much Brighter Days means to our family, our only regret is not knowing about them sooner. When we lost our daughter in 2016, we felt so incredibly lost and weren't aware of any resources available to us. If Brighter Days had been in existence then, I feel as though our grieving process would have been a very different experience. We are forever grateful and will continue to share the generosity, empathetic hearts and love they continue to show others. ~Missy Rogers, Dani's mom

Dear Melisa, Thank you for the loving space and guidance you provided and shown in helping me deal with my grief. I am really grateful for your support. You brought such encouragement and comfort. I feel much better and I'm encouraged to continue to move forward. Thank you so much and all the best and blessings for all that you do bringing comfort and hope to those grieving. It was such a blessing that I've come here to meet you. ~Mary Rose Casino

Brighter Days Is like no other resource I know of. As a grief therapist, it’s important for me to know and trust my referral network. Every time I refer to Brighter Days, I hear back about how they were embraced by knowledge, love, acceptance and given hope. Hope isn’t easy in grief; thank you for being the amazing pulse that keeps this community believing. ~Kelly Grosklags, LICSW, FT

Brighter Days grief center is an amazing place where grieving people can go to begin the healing process. I’ve learned that I am not alone on this journey and that the sun does shine again. Thank you, Brighter Days, for everything you do. My hope is that you continue to grow and be able to help many more families over the years to come. ~Dan Peso, Daniel's Dad

Brighter Days has connected me with support groups, legal resources and a compassionate ear when I really needed one. Everyone I have dealt with has been helpful and caring. They have helped make what sometimes feels debilitating easier to navigate through. Minnesota is fortunate to have this incredible resource. ~Lori

Brighter Days has touched the hearts of so many! The opportunities and programs they provide for all loss fills my own grieving heart with joy. It is their loyalty to our community, and their kindness during a time when people are most vulnerable, that keeps me strong. It is a place I feel so connected to my daughter and I am so grateful for their team! ~Connie Jean

There is so much fear and uncertainty when a loved one dies. Brighter Days Family Grief Center wipes those fears away with their compassion, kindness, and life changing resources! ~Maggie Bauer

Brighter Days is an amazing group of people who unconditionally give of themselves to come alongside those going through the difficult journey of loss. I know that my family's life would have been so different and healthier if an organization like this existed when I lost my dad days before my 12th birthday. Thank you Brighter Days for touching so many lives already! Beth Jones
