There is no map for life after your parents die.

We pair you 1-on-1 with someone who has grown through this exact loss. A guide who has navigated the darkness and returned with a light. They offer a steady presence, a listening ear, and the deep comfort of knowing you are never walking alone.

You don't have to carry it alone.

We don’t believe in fixing grief. We believe in witnessing it. Liminal meets you exactly where you are—messy, angry, or numb—with the one thing research proves actually helps: someone who understands.

No judgment. No pressure. Just backup.

No Sad Basements: Growth doesn't happen in a somber circle. It happens in a positive environment where life is still allowed to happen.
No Fixing: We don’t try to change your reality. We help you find a witness to stand beside you in it.
Real Growth: By developing a relationship with an empathizer who knows, you move from just surviving the loss to growing with it.

Growth happens in relationship.

Research confirms that while grief is individual, healing is communal. Surrounding yourself with empathizers is the strongest way to integrate loss and find a new baseline. Here is how we connect you:

Step 1: Share your story

Tell us about your loss and where you are in the journey. The more we know, the better we can find an empathizer who speaks your language.

Step 2: We curate the connection

We look for shared experiences—similar loss, similar age, similar outlook. We aren't looking for a teacher; we're looking for a mirror.

Step 3: Meet your guide

Connect 1-on-1. It’s a space to vent, cry, laugh, or just sit in silence. No curriculum, no agenda. Just two people navigating the path together.

FAQ

What is Liminal?

Liminal makes grief more connected and empowering. We pair "mentors" (we call them Guides) to the newly bereaved to provide 1-on-1 support. Beyond that, we produce live shows, events, podcasts, and retreats designed to help you grow through the rite of passage of losing a parent.

Who is Liminal for?

If you have lost one or both parents (or caregivers) and feel like you are navigating a mapless world while everyone else is moving on, this is for you. Whether the loss was yesterday or ten years ago, if you need a witness, you belong here.

Is this therapy?

No. Therapy is for processing and diagnosis; Liminal is for witnessing and living. Think of us like a sponsor or a battle buddy. We don't analyze your childhood; we stand beside you in your now. (Note: If you are in crisis, please seek professional medical help).

What if I’m a mess?

Good. We like messes. There is no right way to grieve. Your journey is your own. You don't have to be poised, polite, or "over it" to be here. If you are angry, numb, or just exhausted—bring that. We can take it.

How much does it cost?

Right now, it is completely free. We are currently building our founding community, so we are waiving all fees for early members. You get full access to the matching and the network at no cost.

Is this religious?

No. We aren't a church basement. Liminal is a secular space open to all beliefs. We focus on the universal human experience of loss and the psychology of growth, not a specific spiritual doctrine.

Who are the guides?

Every guide is someone who has lost a parent, navigated the darkness, and been personally vetted by us. They aren't therapists, but they are trained to hold space, listen without judgment, and be the steady hand you need right now.

Empowering adult orphans through real connection, Liminal provides 1-on-1 mentorship and immersive experiences to replace the isolation of grief with the resilience of community.
