You lost someone who was real to you. This isn't a meditation app with a pet-loss skin. It was built for the specific shape of pet-loss grief — the parts no one warns you about. The guilt that won't stop looping. Did I wait too long? Did I give up too soon? Why do I feel relieved? Seven modules just on guilt — because that's where most people get stuck. The social invalidation. Someone will say "it was just a dog." The app gives you scripts for that conversation — with coworkers, family, partners — so you're not ambushed without words. The dates you're dreading. Their birthday. The anniversary. The first holiday without them. Set the date, and something shows up three days before, the day of, and in the days after. The empty house. The walking route. The silence where the collar used to jingle. When a grief wave hits, there's an interrupter — a 60-second anchor that doesn't ask you to breathe and count. Thirty-one peer voices from people in the exact situation you're in — not general grief quotes, but someone who's been through "my other pets are grieving too" or "their ashes just arrived and I don't know what to do." Everything stays on this device. No account, no server, no leaderboard.
