Judi's House - A House of Hope & Love

Judi's House

The death of a loved one can be an overwhelming experience for anyone. For a child, whose entire experience of the world is defined by their connection to a handful of people, the death of one of those people can be isolating, confusing, life-altering … devastating. While other family members are overcome with their own experience of grief and loss, children often become forgotten mourners.

 


Brian Griese’s mom Judi passed when he was just 12 years old.   At the time, he felt he was the only 12 year old that lost his mom.      In honor of Brian’s mom, Brian and his wife Brooke Griese saw a  vision of Judi’s House and it was created.    Today, those between the ages of 3 and 24 are encouraged to participate with support groups their age to work through the grieving process and for them to know they are not in this alone!   

  Judi's House

At Judi’s house there is an environment of acceptance and understanding where everyone can share their grief and yet grieve at their own pace.    Those coming to Judi's House interact with others, work with counselors and have many volunteers assisting in activities.   


Judi's House is located at 1741 Gaylord St., Denver, CO   80206

Judi's house sounds like a wonderful endeavor, Joan - such a heartwarming way to provide support for grieving families.  I'm certain Judi is looking down with pride at what her son accomplished in her memory.

Joan,

What a wonderful program!  That feeling of being alone has to be the worst part of the grieving process.  Thanks for sharing!

Joan -- Only someone who has gone through losing a parent so young can truly understand how it affects your life....forever.   It's not easy, and having the support and understanding of those who have been through the same will mean everything to these children. Brian is truly doing wonderful work at Judi's House.

That is a great way for them to honor Brian's Mom and help all the other kids in that situation. And, it is a wonderful thing for them to have done.

Judi's House filled my heart with those not understanding grief, and Brian & Brooke have created an environment in which they can understand they are not in it alone, they have company, but also they learn how to grieve!     KUDOS to the Griese family!

I missed the Holiday Luncheon, and this presentation, but Judi's House would sure help those who have lost loved ones.
