FAQ
Answers to questions about how Help Texts supports you through grief.

How does Help Texts work?
After signing up, you'll receive supportive text messages directly to your phone twice a week. You can pause or stop anytime. It works on any phone, no smartphone required.
-
How soon after losing a pet should I start getting grief support?
Whenever you're ready. The death of a beloved pet is felt deeply and instantly. Some people want support from day one. Others need a little time before they're ready to receive anything. Either way, we personalize the messages you will be receiving to meet you where you are.
-
Can I give Help Texts as a gift to someone who just lost a pet?
Yes. We offer a gift subscription that gives someone a full year of grief text support. You purchase it, enter their email, send a personalized message to them, and that's it. Support arrives right away, without requiring them to go anywhere or answer. For someone who's grieving, ongoing support matters more than most things you could order online.
-
Does text-based mental health and grief support actually work?
Yes, text-based grief and mental health support is an effective, accessible way to get expert help. Help Texts' published research shows that personalized text support is helpful for 95% of people navigating grief and other life challenges. Subscribers consistently report that receiving supportive texts feels good, and that our practical, personalized tips help them make meaningful changes over time. Many describe grief text support as life-changing.
-
What kinds of pets does Help Texts cover?
All of them. A dog, a cat, a horse, a rabbit, a reptile, a bird. The bond was real regardless of what kind of animal they were. So is the grief. We also customize messages based on how they died because grieving a pet being euthanized can be different than a pet dying from old age, or one that went missing.
