If you're reading this...

You already know what grief feels like at 7pm on a Wednesday when the house is quiet and everyone else's life seems to have carried on.

✴

You know what it's like to be surrounded by people who love you and yet you still feel completely and utterly alone.

✴

You know the particular loneliness of losing a partner, your person . Because the person you would normally turn to when things are hard is the person who is gone.

✴

And you probably know what it feels like when people slowly stop saying their name.

I know all of this because I've lived it.

And I built Letters After Loss because of it.

if you've been feeling like ...

No one truly understands what you’re going through, no matter how kind their words are.

The loneliness is heavy, and you miss having someone who just gets it.

You want to try new things with women just like you, but want it in the safety of your own home.

✴ Are you ready to take one small step towards feeling less alone, even on the days when everything feels impossible ✴

Imagine having this to look forward to each month...

A handwritten letter from someone who truly understands.

A printed newsletter introducing a meaningful monthly theme.

A relaxed online letter-writing session.

A monthly themed experience to inspire creativity, curiosity and connection.

Access to the Letters After Loss app, where you can revisit previous themes, writing prompts and inspiration whenever you need them.

"I come from the pre social media world and had many pen-pals in my teenage years, getting to know someone via letters was always something that I enjoyed back then . The idea of Letters After Loss interested me as I know how hard it can be to find people who truly understand the place we find ourselves. It can also be a very lonely place sometimes. The idea of writing and sharing appeals to me . I would have been concerned about sharing address ect , but having a middle (wo)man takes that concern away. I really enjoyed writing my letter and it was a lovely feeling when I received one . I would recommend this , if you enjoy writing and learning about others and maybe make a new friend then this could be for you"

— Wendy

Receiving my first pen pal letter was far more meaningful than I expected. It arrived at a time when I felt isolated in my grief, and reading words from someone who genuinely understood what I was going through brought a real sense of comfort. There was no judgement—just a real connection with a person who had walked a similar path and could relate to the emotions I was trying to navigate. Their letter made me feel seen and understood in a way that’s hard to find in everyday conversations. Having a bereavement pen pal has given me a safe space to express my feelings and reflect on my loss, while also hearing someone else’s story. It’s been grounding, healing, and unexpectedly uplifting. I would highly recommend this to anyone who feels alone in their grief or struggles to talk openly with people around them. Sometimes the quiet empathy from a stranger can make all the difference.

I was excited at the prospect of connecting via letter but I was concerned about what to include in my first letter, I went for a simple introduction of who I was and what I enjoyed and was relieved when this was what my pen pal had also gone with in her first letter. Receiving her letter was a glimmer of brightness amongst the bills and mundane post I normally receive. My second letter was much easier to write as I feel like I already know her. I would definitely recommend connecting with a pen pal as I find it provides a relaxed and predictable connection in a time of uncertainty and the joy of seeing that hand written envelope land behind your door knowing it’s from your friend is indescribable.

— CLAIRE

“I just wanted to say thank you for setting up this pen pal club. The timing was just so great as I had recently started pen- paling but to 'non-widows'. This just feels that little bit more special.

— Fran

“What a great idea! Thank you so much for setting this up”

— Tyra

Your Safety Matters

When you lose your person, a particular vulnerability comes with it.

I've thought carefully about that in building every part of Letters After Loss.

Let me tell you exactly how we keep you safe:

Your home address is never shared with anyone. Not your pen pal, not other members, not anyone. All letters are sent to our PO Box address, where I sort and redirect them personally.
When you join you are given a unique ID number. This, along with your first name, is the only information your pen pal ever sees.
There is no public Facebook group where personal profiles are visible. Outside of the monthly Zoom events, everything happens offline. Just letters, between you and your pen pal.
Every member is a woman who has lost a spouse or partner. This is a closed, trusted community of women who understand each other.

I want you to feel completely safe here.

Because you deserve a space where you can be open and honest without any worry.

Hi lovely,

I'm Caroline

Six months before Paul died, I turned 50. We had a bucket list. We ate fish and chips in Whitby, went ten pin bowling, and took our last family holiday to Greece, a trip Paul had insisted he would hate and then never stopped talking about.

Three weeks after he was diagnosed, he was gone.

I went from being a we to being a me overnight.

From a family of four to a family of three.

And I had absolutely no idea how to survive it.

Some days survival meant nothing more than remembering to feed my children. My daughter survived entire days on porridge. The grief was that consuming.

What I didn't expect was how lonely it would be. Not just the sadness, the loneliness. The way friends didn't know what to say. The way Paul slowly stopped coming up in conversation. The way I was expected to be getting better when I was still just getting through.

One day I posted in a widow Facebook group asking if anyone would like to be my pen pal. A woman replied. We started writing to each other.

"Paul is quite literally my favourite topic of conversation. Not talking about him hurts more than talking about him ever could."

The first time I received her letter I realised something I hadn't been able to articulate before, I wasn't the only one. There was someone on the other end of this handwritten letter who understood completely. Who didn't need me to explain. Who was on the same road, just a few steps ahead or behind.

That feeling is what Letters After Loss is built on.

ARE YOU READY?

You found this page for a reason.

Maybe you're not sure you're ready. Maybe you've been telling yourself you'll join when things feel a little easier. But grief doesn't work like that and waiting for the right moment means spending more time alone than you need to.

This is the right moment. You are ready enough.

Founding membership is open now at £15 a month and locked in forever, for the women brave enough to join first. After 100 members the price rises to £18. There are a limited number of places remaining.

The woman on the other end of your first letter is waiting.

Letters After Loss is currently only available to UK residents

Join the waitlist

Here's how it works

1. Join the waitlist

Pop your first name and email address into the form below, and I'll send you a series of welcome letters over the next few days.

2. Decide if it's right for you

I'll share more about Letters After Loss, how it works, and the philosophy behind it. There's absolutely no pressure to join, it's simply an opportunity to see whether it feels like the right place for you.

3. Tell me you're ready

At the end of the welcome letters, I'll ask whether you'd like to become a member. If you do, I'll ask a few more questions (such as your age and a little about your circumstances) so I can personally match you with a suitable pen pal.

If you decide it's not the right time, that's completely okay. You'll still receive my Sunday Letter each week, filled with widow reflections, encouragement and little glimmers of hope.

4. Receive your invitation

Once I've found someone I think you'll connect with, I'll send you a personal invitation to complete your membership and officially welcome you into the Letters After Loss community.

HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?

You can email me at [email protected] if you have any questions, I'm happy to help! And don't forget to check out the FAQs below; there's a ton of helpful info waiting for you.

What if I don't know what to write?

You don't need to. There are no rules about what goes in your letter. You can write about your person, about your day, about something that made you smile or something that broke your heart. Your monthly newsletter includes letter writing prompts and ideas for when you feel stuck. And your pen pal isn't expecting perfection, she's expecting honesty. That's all.

How long does it take to be matched with a pen pal?

I make every match personally and carefully so it isn't instant. Once I have the perfect match you'll then receive an email from me where you will be invited to join.

How do you match me with my pen pal

You won't be matched by an algorithm. I read every member profile and make each match personally, thoughtfully, and carefully. Because this matters too much to be left to a computer.

What if I don't get on with my pen pal?

It happens, and that's completely okay. Just get in touch with me and I will rematch you. Your membership can be paused during this time. No questions asked, no awkwardness. Your comfort and happiness in this community is the most important thing.

What if my pen pal stops writing?

If a pen pal goes quiet I will always reach out to find out why. Sometimes life gets in the way and a gentle nudge is all that's needed. If a pen pal leaves the membership I will rematch you as quickly as possible so you're never left without someone to write to. Whilst you are waiting for a new match you can either pause your membership or chose to receive a letter from one of the team.

Is my personal information safe?

Completely. Your home address is never shared with anyone. All letters travel through our PO Box address and are redirected by me personally. Your pen pal only ever knows your first name and your unique member ID. There is no public community where your details are visible.

Do I have to attend the online writing session?

Not at all. They are completely optional. They're there for when you want them.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time with no penalty. All you need to do is send me an email ([email protected]) and your membership will be cancelled immediately, no questions asked. If you cancel and then decide to rejoin, please be aware that the founding member price may no longer be available and you would rejoin at the current rate.

Is this a therapy or counselling service?

No, and it's important to be clear about that. Letters After Loss is a community, not a therapeutic service. I have no background in counselling or therapy. What I do have is lived experience of widowhood and a genuine belief that human connection is one of the most powerful things there is. If you are struggling with your mental health please do reach out to a professional. Letters After Loss can exist alongside that support, not instead of it.

I'm not very good at writing. Does that matter?

Not even slightly. Your pen pal isn't looking for beautiful prose. She's looking for connection. Write the way you speak. Write the way you'd tell a friend. That's more than enough.
