Grief Self-Check

Helps a bereaved member see how grief is affecting daily life right now and when extra support could help. It is a self-check, not a diagnosis: prolonged grief disorder can only be diagnosed by a qualified clinician.

Grief has no timetable, and there is no right way to mourn. These questions ask about the last month. They help you see how you are carrying the loss, and where support might help. Private. Your employer never sees your answers. You can stop anytime.

Private: your answers stay on this device and are not saved. You can stop at any time.
