Tamesha Rouse is the CEO and Founder of For Our Grieving and FOG Kids, which was started in 2012 because there was a need for this type of help and healing in the community.  F.O.G.is a non-profit 501(c) 3 that provides a safe, friendly, and professional environment where bereaved individuals of all ages and their families can find uplifting, encouragement, support, resources, education, and strength while dealing with all types of loss.

After the loss of Tamesha’s sister in 2010 and the loss of her own children shortly thereafter, Tamesha felt unclear, lost, and unsure. She had lost hope. “Nothing was clear to me anymore, it felt as if the fog never let up, it was just one thing after the other. I went to a dark place and wasn’t sure how I was going to get out,” stated Tamesha. 

One day, when she woke up from her fog, she said things became clear and she knew what she wanted to do, and it was to help others heal, find hope, and embrace their “here and now”, while navigating their grief. 

Tamesha resides in Detroit, MI with her husband, Spurgeon, and two daughters, Ariyana and Aniya.
