Grounded, practical resources for people in the middle of grief — and for the people supporting them. Phases, anniversaries, the unexpected re-encounters. Not cheerful, not ghoulish; just steady company.

What grief actually is — non-linear, recursive, sometimes physical. The framework that lets you stop interrogating yourself for not feeling it the "right" way.
Anniversaries and re-encounters — the unexpected returns of grief at songs, smells, dates, places. Anticipation rather than ambush; planning rather than panic.
Supporting someone grieving — what to say, what not to say, what to do, when to be quiet. Useful enough to be quoted to friends in the days after a loss.
When to seek professional help — the line between grief and complicated grief, the indicators that warrant a clinician, where to find one without feeling like a project.
Built for the people who'll actually use it, not for tick-box procurement.
Designed for daily use, not enterprise checkbox compliance. The features that matter, none of the ones that don't.
