you don't have to navigate it alone
Healing begins with someone who understands.
Thoughtful, one-to-one introductions to people near you who've been through a loss like yours — and a gentle plan for the first time you meet.
What would feel most helpful right now?
We start with your needs, not your loss. Choose one or more paths — or none yet. Home reorders around what you pick, and you can change it any time.
Find someone who understands
Connect with people who may relate to your experience, and build a meaningful relationship at your own pace.
One-to-one introductions and small circles
Figure out my next chapter
Discover people, resources, and opportunities for what comes next — chosen by a person on our team, not an ad network.
Communities, creative growth, mentorship
Find community and new experiences
Explore shared interests, local gatherings, and easy ways to meet people nearby.
Walks, workshops and gatherings near you
From introduction to first meetup.
There are no scores and no swiping. You pick what to share, both people must say yes, and then we help plan the meetup.
01
Tell us what brings you here. People and other kinds of loss — only what you're comfortable with.
02
Beyond grief, too. Many friendships start with a shared interest, not a shared loss.
03
Meet one person at a time. Each introduction says why we think you may connect.
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 can see. We only share your interest if they're open to an introduction too.
05
Both say yes. If they decline, you won't be told who said no. We'll suggest someone else.
you both said yes
Meet Sarah.
- First name
- General area
- Type of loss
- Interests
06
A few easy ways to meet. Suggested from what you both enjoy — public, low-pressure, nearby.
no wrong answer
After the meetup, we check in.
Four gentle answers, each with its own next step. Keeping a connection going is the hard part of adult friendship — and a non-fit isn't treated as failure. Only our team sees your answer.
That's normal. Friendships often take a second meeting. We'll check in again in about a week.
Privacy & safety
Nothing sensitive is visible until you choose to share it.
- 01
Only a general area
Others see a neighborhood-level area, never your street, address or exact location.
- 02
Sensitive details stay off
Circumstances of a loss are off by default. You choose what each person can see, and can change it later.
- 03
Mutual, and quietly so
If someone declines or doesn't respond, you won't be told who said no. We'll simply suggest someone else.
- 04
A person reviews every report
Meet in public, leave any time with no explanation needed, and report anything that feels off.
The community is free.

Questions people ask
What we are, what we aren't, and what others can see.
No. A Grief Like Mine is about peer connection — meeting people who understand. It isn't a therapist or a crisis service. If you're in crisis, please contact local emergency services (in the US you can call or text 988).
No. Questions about circumstances and timing are optional, and we explain why we ask. Even when you share them, they stay hidden from others until you choose to share them with a specific person.
Not at all. Many friendships start with a shared interest — a walk, coffee, art — not a shared loss. We look at both.
That's okay, and it isn't treated as failure. After a meetup you get four gentle answers to choose from. Only our team sees your answer, and you can ask for another introduction or pause matching any time.
The community is free. Membership pays for the people who curate introductions and plan meetups. We're still shaping how membership is priced.
We're starting small and local, because the point is meeting in person. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when we open near you.
