Grief can follow death, separation, illness, major change, or the loss of a future you expected. There is no single correct way to grieve. This check-in focuses on how grief is affecting you right now.
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
About the evidence:
Project Semicolon reviews assessment wording, scoring logic, safety routing, and source status separately from the directory experience. Custom check-ins are clearly distinguished from validated instruments.
We store the completed assessment type, result band, score when applicable, limited secondary signals, and basic engagement events for aggregate metrics. Raw question responses are not stored.
This assessment is a screening and support-navigation tool, not a diagnosis or substitute for professional medical care.
There is no universal timeline. Grief changes over time, but meaningful losses can remain emotionally important for years.
Yes. Moments of relief, laughter, connection, or normal activity do not mean the loss mattered less.
Yes. Grief can affect attention, memory, appetite, sleep, energy, and physical comfort.
Seek support whenever grief feels too heavy to carry alone, especially if you are increasingly isolated, unable to function, or feeling unsafe.
