When your mum dies, it’s more than just heartbreak - it can feel like your whole world shifts. Friendships often change, and navigating the waves of grief can be overwhelming, especially when those around you just don’t understand the depth of your loss.
Friends In Grief (FIG) is a world-first matching program designed to connect motherless daughters with others who truly get it - because they’ve been there too! We can help you find a meaningful and supportive friendship based on your shared experiences, age, and unique circumstances to make grief just that little bit easier. Sounds like something you’d find comfort in? Looking for someone who understands?

“After the passing of my mum, Linda, early last year, I found myself feeling lost in the grief and trying to find myself again. Friends In Grief popped up late last year, and the idea of finding more support resonated with me. The form was simple to fill out and allowed me to choose the similarities my Friend In Grief would have. I highly recommend taking up the opportunity to join Friends In Grief. Just having someone you know who gets it is all you need sometimes”.
