Losing a Dad

One letter a month. Grief support for the whole first year.

$15/month · Cancel anytime · First letter ships in 3–4 business days

Grief doesn't follow a 30-day timeline. But most support does.

The calls slow down. The texts stop. Everyone else moves on, and the person you love is still in it, sitting in a quiet that gets louder every month.

This is what shows up instead.

One honest letter, every month, for the whole first year. Written from the basement of grief, the raw moments, the hard lessons, the things you only learn when you stop fighting it and start carrying it. Every letter arrives personalized with your name, so they know exactly who's in their corner.

And on the one-year anniversary of their loss, when most people have forgotten the date, we haven't. One final letter arrives automatically, because we remember when everyone else has moved on.

What it includes:
-A personalized letter written from inside grief, addressed to them by name and sent on your behalf
-A surprise insert each month — sometimes a Bible verse card, sometimes a gratitude postcard to help them reach out instead of isolate
-An anniversary letter sent automatically on the one-year mark — we remember the date so you don't have to
