GLADD is for anyone experiencing grief or loss after the death of a loved one — whether your loss was recent or years ago. You do not need to be at a certain stage of grief to reach out. If you are hurting, you are welcome here.
GLADD provides 24/7 grief support through our community, healing classes, support groups, and one-on-one sessions with certified grief coaches. We also offer a free community on Facebook and a paid membership community with daily live streams and workshops.
Yes. Grief does not follow a schedule, and neither do we. Our helpline is available day or night, anywhere in the world. Call or text 1-844-42-GLADD (1-844-424-5233) at any time.

A grief coach is a trained guide who helps people navigate the emotional, practical, and life‑shifting impact of loss. They don’t replace therapy or try to “fix” grief — they walk with you through it, help you understand what you’re feeling, and support you as you rebuild your life around the loss.
A grief coach provides both emotional support and practical guidance. They help people:
- Understand their emotions and why grief feels the way it does
- Cope with the waves of sadness, confusion, guilt, or overwhelm
- Reduce isolation and feel less alone in the process
- Make decisions when grief fog makes thinking difficult
- Create structure, stability, and supportive routines
- Rebuild identity and daily life after loss
- Honor the person who died in healthy, meaningful ways
- Move forward without feeling like they’re “leaving them behind”
They act as a stabilizing presence — part emotional support, part practical guide, part accountability partner.
Session length varies by coach and the type of support you are seeking. You can view each coach's availability and session details on our Our Coaches page or by booking directly through the site.

People seek a grief coach when grief feels too heavy, unpredictable, or isolating to manage alone. Common reasons include:
- Feeling overwhelmed or unable to function day‑to‑day
- Wanting tools and guidance rather than just sympathy
- Not wanting to burden family or friends
- Feeling misunderstood or alone in their grief
- Wanting to heal without forgetting
- Wanting to feel “normal” again
- Needing someone who understands grief deeply and isn’t afraid of it
A grief coach provides clarity, structure, and steady support at a time when life feels chaotic — helping people move through grief with compassion, confidence, and connection.
