What is Share My Grief?
Essentially, it is an e-penpal scheme where you get matched with someone experiencing a similar form of grief to you.
If you want to be matched up with someone, please fill in the relevant form from the top bar - either sibling loss or parent loss. Once we have found you a match, we will link you up!
How do I get involved?
If you want to be matched up with someone, please fill in the relevant form from the top bar - either sibling loss or parent loss. Once we have found you a match, we will link you up!
How long will it take to match me up?
We will endeavour to match you up as soon as we can but it depends on who is currently on our database awaiting a match. If you are concerned that you have been waiting a long time, please feel free to drop us a line on sharemygrief@outlook.com and we can clarify your position.
Is my data safe?
Yes! All of your data is held on a secure server and is deleted 6 months after you have inputted it. The only information that will be passed on to your match is your email address and your first name. You can request that your data be deleted at any point by emailing sharemygrief@outlook.com
What happens if my match stops replying or doesn't work out?
If it is within 6 months since you signed up, drop us an email and we will search for another match. If it has been longer than 6 months since you signed up, please complete the form again as we will no longer have your original information on file.
Will my match live near me?
Location is not taken into consideration when pairing people up. This could mean that your match is in a different time zone or a different country. We welcome participants from anywhere and everywhere.
If you wish to converse with your pen pal in a language other than English, please let us know and we will do our utmost for that to be accommodated.
I have a question that isn't answered here
