A Monthly Dose of Good News from Help Texts: April 2025 | Help Texts

8 April 2025

Hi, friends. At Help Texts, we believe that while life can be hard, getting help shouldn't have to be. That’s why we deliver clinically sound, powerfully simple help—straight to people's phones. Every day, subscribers remind us that small, thoughtful check-ins can make a big difference. Here are a few glimpses into the impact we're having—one text at a time.

  • “It was very helpful. If I could afford it I'd buy a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
  • “I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be replying to these messages. But they are helping so much with really good advice x”
  • “Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. You really are making a difference.”
  • “I really hope I can keep getting these texts for a while. They have helped so much.”
  • "Your texts have been immensely helpful over the last 12 months, thank you! I shall miss them so so much. Thank you for all the support! x"

We’re hosting our very first webinar—and we’d love for you to join us!

On April 22 from 12:00–12:45 pm EDT, we’re offering a free live session to share more about how Help Texts works and why so many organizations around the world rely on us to deliver clinically-sound, compassionate support for grief and mental health.

If you’re curious about how we do what we do, this is a great chance to spend time with our team and learn more about the impact of text-based support.

Spots are limited, so save yours today—we’d be thrilled to see you there.

We've been featured in Southern Funeral Director Magazine

Help Texts' Chief Clinical Officer, Mellisa Lunardini, was featured in Southern Funeral Director Magazine's March 2025 issue! 📱💙 Check out pages 20-23 to read this in-depth article titled "Modernizing Aftercare with Text-Based Grief Support." The article explores how text-based grief support is transforming the way funeral homes provide ongoing care to families. In an industry where meaningful connection is everything, text-based grief support:

  • Offers timely, personalized support when grievers need it most
  • Validates grief experiences and reduces isolation
  • Provides practical coping strategies beyond emotional support
  • Remembers special dates when others have moved on
  • Creates a non-intrusive support system that grievers can engage with at their own pace

With remarkable engagement rates (95% of users reporting feeling more supported), text-based grief support is proving to be not just a technological advancement but a practical solution that strengthens the funeral home's role as a community care provider. The most powerful testaments come from grievers themselves:

  • "When it feels like everybody else has forgotten my dad, Help Texts remembers."
  • "It's been 6 months since my mom died. It feels like everybody's kind of forgotten and expects me to have moved on... some days the grief still feels very heavy."

Thank you for being part of our community. In times of crisis and worry, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. My team and I are here, doing what we do best, providing connection and care—one text at a time.

With gratitude,

Emma Payne, CEO
