Lemon Aid has suspended financial aid services in Michigan following an unanticipated loss of state funding. Emotional and resource support will continue without interruption, and individuals may join our waitlist for future financial aid opportunities. We regret this necessary pause and are actively seeking new funding to reinstate full services. This does not apply to the Marquette/U.P. region, only the lower peninsula.
Experiencing the loss of a loved one to suicide can be a profoundly isolating and challenging life experience. Lemon Aid would like to help.
Do you need emotional support, helpful resources, or guidance following the loss of a loved one to suicide? Lemon Aid may be able to connect you with support.
Each case is assigned a Lemon Aid representative, often a mental health specialist, who provides informal, supportive conversations. Survivors can share their grief, talk about their loved one, discuss challenges, or simply find a space to express their emotions.
Lemon Aid recognizes that suicide loss survivors often need more than the brief emotional support we provide; they may also need housing, insurance, job training, long term therapists, and childcare. Our representatives work with applicants to connect them with resources aimed at building stability and growth beyond the immediate crisis.
Six Feet Over believes everyone deserves the dignity of a respectful service after death, and that their loved ones deserve the opportunity to grieve their loss in a dignified way. Lemon Aid helps ensure families receive compassionate support and guidance during an incredibly difficult time. Suicide loss is a complicated form of grief. We operate under a culture of respect, compassion, and support to help guide families through their loss. Dignity first. Always.
