Rooms, not feeds
Small moderated spaces grouped by the loss you're carrying. No algorithm, no like counts, no strangers scrolling past.
Coming soon to TheWake
Grief doesn't keep office hours.
WakeCare is a moderated community for people living with loss. Rooms that stay open at 3am. Guided courses when you're ready for them. Nobody rushing you toward "closure".
One email when the doors open. Nothing else.

There is no week four when it's supposed to lift. It arrives on a Tuesday in a supermarket aisle, eleven months in. We built this for the Tuesdays.
What's inside
Somewhere to bring it, whenever it comes.
Courses at your pace
Short guided programmes on the parts nobody warns you about: the paperwork, the first anniversary, the friends who go quiet.
People who stay
Trained facilitators and members further along the road. Post at any hour. Someone will still be there tomorrow.
The rooms
Sit with people who understand your loss.
Grief for a parent isn't grief for a child. Each room is for one kind of loss, so you don't have to explain yourself before you're understood.
- Loss of a parent
- Loss of a partner
- Loss of a child
- Loss of a sibling
- Loss of a friend
- Pregnancy & infant loss
- Loss to suicide
- Sudden loss
- Caring for someone who is dying
More rooms open as the community grows. Tell us what you need when you join.

Questions
Before you sign up
When does WakeCare open?
We're opening to the waitlist first, in small groups, so every room starts with enough moderators. Everyone on the list gets one email the day their place is ready.
Is WakeCare therapy?
No. WakeCare is peer support: people who understand, guided by trained facilitators. It can sit alongside counselling or therapy, but it doesn't replace them.
My loss was a long time ago. Is it still for me?
Yes. There's no deadline on grief, and no "too late" to want company in it. Many members are years into their loss.
Can I sign up for someone else?
You can join the waitlist on their behalf and pass the invitation on when it arrives. We'd only ask that they choose to join themselves.
What happens to my email address?
We use it to tell you when WakeCare opens, and nothing else. See our privacy policy.
