I am not a licensed therapist, medical professional, or crisis expert.

My intent is to provide a safe and comforting space to talk about the important people in your life who have died. Strong emotions may arise during our conversation, so I strongly recommend you also regularly talk to a therapist. Therapy can help you to heal past wounds, which will also help you manage grief and all of the anxiety, stress, and physical pain that accompanies it.

If you are in crisis now, such as having thoughts about suicide or harming yourself or others, call 988 immediately. There are real people on the other end of the line waiting to help.
