“I’m fine.”

A lot of men say it after someone they love dies, even when it isn’t true. Grief can be hard to talk about, and support groups or phone calls aren’t the right fit for everyone.

Help Texts sends grief support straight to your phone twice a week, written by grief and mental health experts. There’s nothing to schedule and no group to join, and you never have to reply. You can read each message when you’re ready.

In our research with hospice families, published in OMEGA: Journal of Death and Dying, men and people 65 and older gave Help Texts its highest ratings.

If this sounds like you, or someone you love, support is here: https://hubs.li/Q04B5fYP0

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. We’re holding space for every parent and family grieving a baby lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, preterm birth, or other medical causes.

Annie, a Help Texts subscriber, told us the texts often arrived on her lowest and loneliest days, and that they helped her feel validated when the people around her couldn’t understand why she wasn’t “over it yet.” There is no timeline for grief, and no loss is too early to grieve.

If you or someone you love needs support, Help Texts for Pregnancy Loss sends supportive texts twice a week, written by grief and mental health experts. https://hubs.li/Q04B5bGj0

On October 15, join the Wave of Light by lighting a candle at 7 p.m. your local time in memory of babies gone too soon. 💗💙

One question we hear often from people who are grieving: how do I get through the first anniversary of their death?

There's no one right way to do it. But it can help to have a starting point, a few ideas you can try, change, and make your own.

Our latest blog shares gentle ideas for the days leading up, the day itself, and the days after. Take what feels right and leave the rest. 💛

If someone you love is coming up on their first death anniversary, you might share this with them.

Most of us have said one of these at some point. We meant well, and that matters. 💛

But for someone who is grieving, these phrases can hurt. Swipe to see five things grieving people wish they didn't hear at work from managers or co-workers.

Now that you know what not to say, here's what grieving employees say actually helps:

Men are often less likely to reach out for support after a loss, and the stigma around su***de can make asking for help even harder. So with his permission, I wanted to share Jorge's experience in his own words.

Jorge's sister died by su***de two years ago.

"Two years after my sister's passing, I look back and recognize how devastating the impact of her su***de truly was. For a long time, my mind simply could not function; the grief completely overwhelmed reason.

In that journey of rebuilding, the messages from Help Texts were a quiet yet vital lifeline. They arrived without noise, right when the sadness felt heaviest and explanations fell short, reminding me that someone was there thinking of me. Over time, I realized it was never about finding rational answers, but about feeling that silent, constant support. When the texts eventually stopped, it never felt like abandonment—it was a natural sign that it was time to step forward and carry on by myself.

Today, I feel immense gratitude and a deep desire to give back all the support I received. I want to thank you for your constant presence and support during such a difficult time. There are no words to fully express how much you truly meant to me."

Text-based support reaches men in meaningful ways. 💛

This Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we want to share simple ways you can reach out and support someone bereaved by su***de.

Here are four texts you can save and use whenever you need them. And if you want to know why each one helps, we've included that too.

You already have what it takes to show up for someone. Sometimes it just helps to also have the words ready.

Save these for when you need them. Send them to someone who could use them. 💛

Did you know Help Texts supports the supporters? We send grief literacy tips and reminders to your phone, so you're ready whenever someone you love is grieving. Sign up at https://hubs.ly/Q04xVXZG0

Families are often told — sometimes by professionals — that telling a child the truth about a su***de will make things worse.

We don't see that. What we hear from children is the opposite: being lied to was harder than being told the truth.

The truth almost always surfaces later. When it does, a child grieves the death and the deception.

Honesty lets them grieve with their family, with an accurate story to hold onto. Honest doesn't mean graphic, it means age-appropriate, bite-size, and paced to their questions.

Swipe through. Save it for when you need it. 💙

If you need more support on how to navigate grief after a su***de loss, Help Texts is here.

New paper just dropped in Death Studies. 📢

As AI rapidly evolves in the grief space, we noticed that thanatology voices were largely absent from the conversation. Much of the literature was coming from human-computer interaction design and other grief-adjacent industries. It felt important to join in a way that honored the work we do every day.

In this paper, we identify some of the ways AI has been used in grief care to date; we look at risk stratification; and, most importantly, we lay out assumptions and principles addressing five stakeholder groups: bereaved individuals, families and communities, bereavement professionals, technology developers, and policymakers.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and what topics surrounding AI and grief are still missing from our field.

Thanks to: Melissa Lunardini, PhD, MA, MBA, FT, Chris Hall, Larissa Hjorth, Phyllis Kosminsky, Val Maasdorp, and Andy Hau Yan Ho.

People often wonder whether text-based support is really helpful for su***de loss survivors. I wanted to share Christine's experience.

Christine's son Joseph died by su***de when he was 12. She says the texts seem to arrive exactly when she needs them, and because the support comes to her, she doesn't have to find the strength to reach out.

A text message may seem like a small thing, but for people like Christine, it's been a lifeline. 💛
