Are You Safe?

If you are here, it's because you are grieving. We're so deeply sorry.

First, are you safe? Meaning, are you free from immediate danger?

If your answer is "no" or "I don't know," it's important you seek immediate help.

If at any time you don't feel safe, we encourage you to seek professional help.

Not being safe is a medical emergency, and we cannot help. In the U.S., consider calling 988 or 911 or visiting the 988 Crisis website.

If you are safe, the following resources are for you.

The second section is all about grief. How to reenter life, how to give yourself space to grieve, and how we all grieve differently.

The last two sections are an appendix that breaks out grief by Loss Type or Loss Scenario.
