Bri’s Lodge - Grief & Loss Center

Our Mission: 

At Bri’s Lodge, our mission is simple: To help individuals cope with loss. Because no one should grieve alone.

Why Bri’s Lodge Matters:

In Minnesota, tens of thousands of families face loss each year. The need for grief support is profound, yet resources in Central Minnesota remain limited.

Bri’s Lodge is a welcoming place where those who are experiencing grief can go to receive invaluable bereavement support.  Our Grief & Loss Center offers a safe first step where individuals who are grieving can begin to process their grief, connect with others, and gain the courage to continue their healing journey. Bri's Lodge also serves as a bridge to more formal supports, including grief therapy.

No one is exempt from experiencing loss. Whether sudden or expected, close or distant, loss touches everyone. Bri’s Lodge reminds us that grief is universal—but with support and understanding, healing can be too.

Programs & Services: 

Backed by a dedicated team of volunteers and compassionate supporters, Bri’s Lodge has created a welcoming space in Central Minnesota where grieving individuals and families can find comfort, community, and understanding.

At Bri’s Lodge, you will find:

• Support groups and peer connections with others who understand the pain of loss
