death

At some point, we will all experience grief. How we accommodate and live with loss is different for each of us. For the most mature among us, it remains heartbreakingly difficult. Young people feel it just as deeply but are more likely to lack the tools to deal with and work through it. The vision of Ele’s Place is to ensure no child grieves alone. Its mission is to support children and their families as they cope with loss. WEMU's David Fair was joined by Bereavement Coordinator Olivia Wilder to discuss that work in Washtenaw County and throughout Michigan.

Washtenaw County authorities are currently investigating a scene at Ann Arbor Township after a body was discovered in the local woods. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has the details.

Losing a loved one is never easy. It can be even more difficult if you are a child or teenager. Add in the holiday season, and it can hit hard and cause a sense of loneliness. For the affected, you don’t have to go through it alone. Ele’s Place is a Lansing-based organization with a branch office in Ann Arbor. It is a healing center for grieving children and teens. WEMU’s David Fair talks with executive director Kate Powers about loss, grief and healing for affected youngsters in Washtenaw County.

Losing a loved one can be devastating. For many, it becomes isolating. Finding support and comfort in others is the notion behind the work of Hanna Hasselshwert, who owns Acacia End of Life Services in Ypsilanti and runs a monthly “Death Café” to help offer support and grief education. Learn more about Hanna’s work as a "Death Doula" and how it is helping so many in the Ypsilanti community this week on WEMU’s On the Ground Ypsi with Concentrate Media's Rylee Barnsdale.
