It can be difficult knowing what the ‘right’ thing is to say or how to show up. To say that I learned a lot from Help Texts would be an understatement. I was given so many new tools and new language to help me be there for my friend.

When my father passed unexpectedly it was the hardest experience I'd ever encountered. I didn’t feel grief counseling was helpful to me, but when my employer offered me Help Texts I said yes and found it very helpful. Twice a week I get messages that resonate with how I feel & I look forward to each new message. Help Texts is a tool I highly recommend for anyone who has lost someone close to them.

My friend's daughter just died unexpectedly. Even though I work in traumatic grief and death, this is one time I needed guidance. The Help Texts messaging program is exactly what I needed, and has helped me to support my friend. This is a game changer for helping us to help others as they grieve.

I was gifted Help Texts after my father died, and I've gifted it to many others now, especially men. There's a stigma around male grief. With Help Texts, you can ponder the messages on your own time without the pressure of grieving in front of others. It feels like a private, personal consult for your grief.
