Frequently Asked Questions

My father just lost my mother. How do I introduce this?

Be gentle. Frame it as something for your peace of mind: 'Dad, this would help me worry less. Just one tap a day.' Most widowed parents appreciate knowing someone cares.

What if grief makes them not want to check in?

A missed check-in triggers your alert, which is actually helpful. It gives you a reason to reach out and check in personally on difficult days.

Can multiple children receive alerts?

Currently one emergency contact. Choose the child who's most responsive or closest geographically. Multi-contact support is coming soon.

How is this different from just calling every day?

Calls require energy and conversation, which can be draining during grief. A check-in is a simple 'I'm okay' without needing to talk.
