This is what they get
What to write to a grieving friend
“I am not going to ask how you are. I am here on Thursday if you want to say nothing at me for an hour.”
“I did not know her, but I know you, and I know what you sound like when something matters. There is nothing to answer here. I will call on Sunday and you can not pick up.”
“No advice from me. Just this: I am thinking about you today and I will still be thinking about you in three weeks when everyone else has stopped asking.”
How it works
What they will see
- Opens a dark page: an unlit candle and one line - touch the wick.
- Taps it, the flame catches, and your words appear one line at a time.
- Reads your closing line, then taps one of three quiet replies to you.
Pick the format and fill it in
Names, your message, and the details this format uses - a date, a place, wishes or a few photos. No account needed to start.
Preview it as they will see it
The live preview runs the real page: opening ritual, reveal, and the closing question. Building and previewing is free.
Send the link
Sending one giftable costs €3 (3 for €5, 10 for €10). It opens in any browser with no app, and their answer comes back to your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Will something interactive feel wrong for a death?
This one is built not to. No music, no confetti, no photos - the page has no slot for them. One unlit candle, a line asking them to touch the wick, and your words appearing one at a time as slowly as they want to read them.
Do they have to answer?
No, and the page says so outright: the last line tells them no reply is needed and they can close it there. If they do want to, there are three quiet replies to tap, and whichever they choose comes back to you inside your Giftable, which is often all either of you can manage.
What does it cost, and do they need an account?
Free to build and preview; sending one Giftable costs €3, one time, with packs of 3 for €5 or 10 for €10. They need no account and no app - it opens from a link in the browser already on their phone, at whatever hour they open it.
