Support
Real help, when you need it
A companion here can be a comfort, but it isn't therapy and it isn't a substitute for people. If grief feels heavy, these are good places to turn — every one of them is a real door you can walk through right now.
In crisis right now
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US) is free, confidential, and answered by trained humans 24/7 — for you, or for someone you're worried about.
Veterans: call 988, then press 1. Outside the US: findahelpline.com lists free crisis lines by country. In immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Grief counseling
A therapist who specializes in bereavement can make an enormous difference — in person or online, and many take insurance.

A gentle reminder
Grief has no schedule
However you're using this space — to say goodbye, to revisit good days, or just to hear a familiar voice — go at your own pace. And when you're ready, let the people still here hold some of it with you.
