We offer grieving families support by providing...
Extensive grief services
We care deeply about the families we serve and understand that no two
people have the same grief experience. In 2008, over four hundred
families were referred or received services. Because every person has
different needs, our program provides a wide variety of services. Tomorrow’s Child
offered more than eighty support group meetings last year and sent over
19,500 newsletters.
A safe haven
For almost thirty years, Tomorrow’s Child has been putting the needs of
grieving families first. Families have always been, and will continue
to be, the heart of our mission. Tomorrow’s Child knows there is
consolation in being with others who have shared a similar experience.
We offer a safe haven where grieving families can find comfort and
begin to heal.

The Tomorrow’s Child Memorial Baby Garden blooms at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing. It is a loving, growing tribute to all of Michigan babies who have died of SIDS or other causes before their first birthday. We encourage families to visit the Memorial Baby Garden year around.
Memorial bricks surround the garden. Families may purchase an engraved brick to be placed in the border or as a personal keepsake. Contributions will help fund grief support and other services for families.
