A loss can change more than one relationship or role. It may affect routines, identity, finances, community, or a future you expected. This page helps you name what has changed without requiring you to explain every detail or feel a particular way.
Map the changes
Start with the loss in the words you prefer. Then consider changes that came with it: who checks on you, who handles a task, where you belong, or what a familiar place now feels like. Some changes may seem small to others and still matter deeply to you.
Choose one area for support
You do not need to address every change today. Circle one that is especially difficult or one where help feels possible. Separate what needs emotional company from what needs practical assistance. For example, missing a shared meal may call for companionship, while paperwork may call for concrete help.
