Frequently Asked Questions
My father just lost my mother. How do I introduce this?
Be gentle. Frame it as something for your peace of mind: 'Dad, this would help me worry less. Just one tap a day.' Most widowed parents appreciate knowing someone cares.
What if grief makes them not want to check in?
A missed check-in triggers your alert, which is actually helpful. It gives you a reason to reach out and check in personally on difficult days.
Can multiple children receive alerts?
Currently one emergency contact. Choose the child who's most responsive or closest geographically. Multi-contact support is coming soon.
How is this different from just calling every day?
Calls require energy and conversation, which can be draining during grief. A check-in is a simple 'I'm okay' without needing to talk.
My mother lost my father six months ago and has stopped taking care of herself. Can this help?
The check-in itself becomes a small daily commitment that keeps her connected to someone who cares. More importantly, if she misses a check-in, it gives you a natural, non-intrusive reason to call and check on her without it feeling like surveillance.
