Grief is deeply personal, and there's no single path through it. Whether you're seeking someone to talk with—a therapist, coach, or quiet tools like journals and ritual kits, this page offers both human support and gentle resources to help you find your way.
What does it mean to 'Find Something Meaningful'?
Some people grieve best by doing. Holding. Writing. Making. Lighting. "Find Something Meaningful" is where you'll find gentle tools and rituals that give grief a shape even when you can't find the words.
There are grief tools like journals, printable memory sheets, altar starters, letters-to-the-departed kits, and small symbolic gifts. You can browse based on what feels right; whether that's lighting a candle, planting something in memory, or sitting with a quiet reflection.
How do I know what's right for me? A person or a tool?
Start with what feels least heavy.
If talking sounds like too much right now, a small practice like writing a letter, planting a memory seed, or tracking your emotions might offer a way through. That's where grief journal printable or ritual kits can help.
But if the ache feels too big to carry alone, or you keep looping through the same pain, reaching out to someone; a coach, a doula, a therapist can bring some steady ground.
You're not choosing between right and wrong. You're choosing what feels most possible.
What kinds of tools actually help with grief (besides therapy)?
Not everyone wants to talk. And that's okay. We've created and curated grief tools for people who need something quieter; something to hold, make, or reflect with.
Some favorites include:
Printable grief journal templates
Daily grounding cards
Memory box ideas
Ritual checklists for birthdays or anniversaries
Letter-writing kits for the person you've lost
Emotion trackers and self-check-in printables You don't need to explain your feelings to use them. They just sit beside you, gently.
I want to support someone grieving. What can I give that won't feel cliché?
When someone you care about is grieving, words can feel clumsy. A gift can say what you can't. We've pulled together sympathy gifts for grieving that are thoughtful, not generic. These include:
Memory candles
Personalized ornaments
Letters you can fill in and leave behind
Comfort boxes with soft scents or tea
Printable grief prompts and keepsake cards
Faith-based or culturally meaningful tokens
Many of these come with a short message you can print or personalize; especially helpful if you don't know what to say.
Are your tools culturally or spiritually sensitive?
Yes, and we're working every day to make sure more people feel seen. We believe grief support resources should reflect the full range of how the world mourns. That's why you'll find tools and gifts that honor different faiths, spiritual paths, and cultural rituals. Whether it's a rosary, an altar cloth, a meditation kit, or a printable for writing ancestral memories; the tone is always gentle and respectful.
You can also browse by filters like faith, language, or region. And if you don't see yourself represented yet, please tell us. We're building this for all of us.
How do I choose between a grief therapist, coach, or doula?
It depends on what you need and how you want to be supported.
A grief therapist helps you navigate loss with clinical training and emotional safety
A grief coach brings presence and guidance without focusing on diagnosis
A death doula holds space before, during, or after loss, often offering ritual and legacy support
Some people work with more than one. Some start with one and shift later. We keep each profile short and personal, so you can sense if someone might be a fit.
Are these services available outside the U.S.? What if I live in Kenya, India, or the Philippines?
Yes, Solace & More was built for the whole world, not just one part of it. You'll find grief support resources from a wide range of countries and cultures. Some helpers work in-person, others offer online grief support. Some accept mobile payments. Many are on WhatsApp. We've made it possible to filter by language, country, or grief type — so the support you find actually fits your life. Wherever you are in the world, you deserve care.
What if I'm not ready for a person or a gift, just something quiet?
That's completely okay. Grief can be tender, slow, and full of stops and starts. Sometimes, you don't want to talk. Or do. Or even receive. You just want to sit in it but not feel alone. That's why we've created quiet resources like:
