When to send · Grief and loss
When “I'm sorry for your loss” doesn't feel like enough.
Grief doesn't want to be fixed, and it doesn't keep a schedule. The calls stop after the funeral, which is often when it gets hardest.
A Peace wish says you're still there. It asks for nothing. They open it when they're ready: a still landscape, your few words, and a moment of quiet they can come back to.
$5, one time. No account needed, for you or for them. Send one now, and schedule another a month out, after everyone else has gone quiet.

One or two sentences is plenty. Start from one of these and make it yours.
- There's nothing I can say that fixes this. I love you, and I'm not going anywhere.
- I'm thinking about your dad today. He was so proud of you.
- No need to answer. I'll check in again next week, and the week after that.
