One Care Guide, through the whole journey
Each employee has a dedicated Care Guide who remains their point of contact through time away, return to work, and the moments after loss that are hardest to navigate alone.
All it takes is one text to activate support.
An employee, family member, manager, or HR partner can reach out directly to the Care Guide — who responds within 30 minutes.
Early support
In the first days, the Care Guide helps assess immediate safety and support needs, create stability, and escalate care when more intensive support is needed.
Tailored grief care
The Care Guide matches the employee and family to grief integration support suited to their loss, circumstances, and cultural context.
Manager coaching
The same Care Guide helps the manager navigate this specific loss, support the team, and handle time away and return with more clarity and care.
Support that stays
The same Care Guide proactively reaches out through re-entry, anniversaries, and holidays, when grief often returns to the surface.
The first six months after loss matter
Grief continues to shape wellbeing and work well beyond the first days after loss.
400%
higher odds of depression in the first six months after loss
2.8 months
of productivity loss in the first six months after bereavement
~Half
of bereaved employees leave their job within a year of the loss
You only pay when someone is facing a loss
Our care is usage-based — activated only in real moments of need — with clear reporting on utilization, outcomes, and return alongside every other line in your benefits budget.
3.1:1
Modeled gross return
Modeled for a 500-person employer at a $7K/mo average salary.
Productivity recovered
Grief-specific therapy reaches clinical response roughly 1.8× faster than generic care. We model 1.2 of the 2.8 lost months recovered per activation.
Retention
Each avoidable departure carries ~$21K in replacement cost. Proactive grief care keeps more of those employees through the first year, when turnover risk is highest.
Beyond what's modeled
The gross return here doesn't include culture, manager confidence, HR lift, or reduced healthcare costs — real upside, harder to put a number on.

Questions we are often asked
What kinds of loss are covered?
Nurturing Studio is built for traumatic loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, child loss, the death of a spouse, the death of a parent, and the death of a loved one.
How is employee privacy protected?
Nurturing Studio is HIPAA compliant, which means employees receive the same privacy protections they would expect from a healthcare provider, with clear boundaries around what is shared with the employer.
How is support activated when a loss happens?
Support can be activated with a direct text to the Care Guide. An employee, family member, manager, or HR partner can reach out, making it easier to respond quickly in the first days after a loss.
