Building a Service of Personalized Grief Support with Emma Payne
Do you feel like there’s no one you can turn to that will provide the support you need for the grief you are experiencing? Look no further than Grief Coach.
In this episode together, I am joined by Emma Payne. Emma is the Founder and CEO of Grief Coach, an innovative tech service that sends users personalized grief support via text message. Grief Coach combines Emma's passion for mobile technology and engagement, with her deep commitment to providing affordable, accessible, and personal grief support. After losing her husband to suicide, Emma knows that, while grief is hard, it’s a little easier when we have people by our side.
Throughout this episode, Emma talks with me about her journey to building Grief Coach. You will learn about the poor experience she had at a grief support group that inspired the idea of Grief Coach, what the Grief Coach user experience is like for both the griever and those unsure of how to best support someone grieving, why grief care should be treated like health care, and so much more.
