About Kelly's Grief Center

The mission of Kelly's Grief Center is to provide a safe, secure, and professional environment in which grieving people and those experiencing mental health challenges in northeastern Ohio will find support, education, and strength to begin the process of healing.

Kelly's story

Kelly Marie Reeves was born August 10, 2001. She was a loving and delightful child, full of wonder and amazement. Her smile lit the world and made our family whole. Kelly died suddenly on December 18, 2002. In her 16 months here, she touched many hearts and will be forever missed by all who loved her.

Since Kelly's death, our family has benefitted from professional counseling. These services have allowed us to function, assimilate Kelly's death and memorialize her appropriately. Thus, Kelly's Grief Center's licensed professionals are available for those struggling with loss or other mental health issues to help them along their journey as our family was guided.

The Kelly Reeves Memorial Foundation

Kelly's Grief Center is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2009 through The Kelly Reeves Memorial Foundation to ensure that anyone in need of counseling services, whether for grief or non-grief related issues, would be able to receive services regardless of their ability to pay. The Kelly Reeves Memorial Foundation offers financial assistance for those who cannot afford their insurance deductibles, coinsurances or copays, or who do not have insurance coverage.
