For the Love of Christi is a Travis and Williamson County based organization that provides free, ongoing grief support to anyone who has lost a loved one.
If you or someone you know has suffered the loss of a friend or loved one, we are here to help. We understand the pain and heart ache of grief. We’re For the Love of Christi, founded by Susan and Don Cox in 1987 in Austin, Texas, in honor of their daughter, Christi.
Over these past 23 years, the Christi Center has helped thousands discover a “new normal,” by using their loved ones’ cherished memories to find peace and joy in their lives. Today, we offer a range of services throughout Austin and the surrounding areas, including new groups in Georgetown. We invite you to check out our web site to find out more.

Christi Center co-founder, Susan Cox, was named a 2011 Local Hero as part of Bank of America’s Neighborhood Excellence Initiative® for her community leadership and service. Bank of America made a $5,000 contribution to The Christi Center in Susan’s honor for this award. Thanks to Susan’s efforts, families who may have fallen apart under the stress of grief instead find support and safety in the resources The Christi Center offers. Susan is truly a local hero to the more than 72,000 Central Texans served by The Christi Center over the past 24 years, many of whom say that Susan and Don Cox and The Christi Center literally saved their lives—not to mention their marriages and families. Because of Susan’s grassroots efforts and example of leadership and service, last year The Christi Center had over 100 volunteers who donated 10,000 hours of service. Congratulations, Susan, and thanks to Bank of America!
