Support That Meets You Where You Are
A private grief companion -- not therapy, not social media. A place to write about your person, build a timeline of memories, and follow a gentle guided journaling path through grief, at your own pace.
Memorial Timeline
Build a private timeline of memories: photos, dates, stories, and milestones. A beautiful, chronological record of the person you lost. Share with close family if you choose.
Guided Journal Prompts

Letters to Your Person
Write letters to the person you lost. Say the things you did not get to say. These are private and unsent -- just for you. A space to express what words cannot easily hold.
Anniversary Reminders
Gentle reminders on meaningful dates -- birthdays, anniversaries, the day they passed. Each reminder comes with a journaling prompt so you have a way to mark the moment.

Using GriefGuide
“I lost my husband six months ago. The daily check-ins give me a place to put my feelings without burdening my kids. Some days I just type one sentence. The companion never makes me feel like I need to do more.”
Catherine R.
Widow, first year
“The milestone preparation tool helped me survive my dad's birthday. Having a plan for the day, instead of dreading it for weeks, changed everything. I still cried, but I was not blindsided by it.”
Michael T.
Lost father to cancer
“Nobody talks about miscarriage grief. This was the first space where I felt my loss was taken seriously. The AI never once said 'at least' or 'you can try again.' It just listened and reflected back what I was feeling.”
Sarah N.
Pregnancy loss
