you don't have to navigate it alone
Healing begins with someone who understands.
Grief can make it feel like nobody around you gets it. We introduce you to someone nearby who might. One person at a time, and we help you plan the first coffee or walk.

How an introduction works
You decide what to share, and nothing happens unless you both say yes. Then we help with the plan, because working out where to go is the part people put off.
01
Tell us what brings you here. Pick whatever fits. Leave out anything you'd rather not say.
02
And what you enjoy. A lot of friendships start over a coffee or a hike instead of the loss itself.
03
Meet one person at a time. Every introduction tells you why we picked them.
Why we think you may connect
- You both chose movement and conversation
- You're about 2 miles apart and free on weekend mornings
04
Choose what they see. Your interest only gets passed on if they're open to meeting too.
05
Both say yes. If they don't, you won't hear who said no. We'll suggest someone else.
you both said yes
Meet Sarah.
- First name
- General area
- Type of loss
- Interests
06
Pick an easy first meetup. A few ideas based on what you both like. Public places, close to home.
no wrong answer
After you meet, we check in.
Keeping a friendship going is the hard part, so we ask how it went. Only our team sees your answer. If it didn't click, that's fine. We'll try again.
That's normal. A lot of friendships take a second meeting. We'll check in again in about a week.
Privacy & safety
You decide who sees what.
- 01
Your area, never your address
People see your neighborhood. That's it.
- 02
Personal details stay hidden
How and when your loss happened is off by default. You choose what each person sees, and you can change it later.
- 03
Someone reads every report
Meet somewhere public, leave whenever you want, and tell us if anything feels off. A real person on our team follows up.

FAQ
The things people usually want to know first.
No. This is about meeting people who get it. We aren't therapists and we aren't a crisis service. If you're in crisis, contact local emergency services. In the US, you can call or text 988.
No. Questions about what happened and when are optional, and we tell you why we ask. Anything you do share stays hidden until you decide to show it to a specific person.
No. Plenty of friendships start with a walk, a coffee or a shared hobby. We look at what you've been through and what you enjoy.
That happens, and it's fine. After you meet, we ask how it went. Only our team sees your answer. You can ask for another introduction or take a break from matching whenever you want.
