Grieving is hard. Asking for help can be even harder. Pull-Up Passes gives you simple ways to ask for the support you need.

Grief can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. It can also make asking for help feel impossible.

People often say, "Let me know if you need anything." But when you're grieving, knowing what you need, finding the words to ask, or feeling comfortable reaching out can take more energy than you have.

That's why I created Pull-Up Passes: I Need Your Support.

This downloadable resource is designed for people who are grieving and need a little help asking for support. Each printable pass offers a simple way to communicate a need without having to explain yourself or carry the emotional weight of asking.

Whether you need someone to bring over a meal, pick up groceries, help with everyday errands, or simply sit with you in silence, these passes make it easier to let the people who care about you show up.

You'll get:

  • Eight printable Pull-Up Passes
  • Practical ways to ask for support with less stress and emotional labor
  • A resource you can print, text, or share whenever you need it

Grief asks a lot of us. Asking for help shouldn't.

My hope is that these passes remind you that accepting support is not a burden. It's one way we allow the people who love us to care for us when we need it most.

My Inspiration

After my dad died, people genuinely wanted to help. They would say, "Let me know if you need anything," and I appreciated that. But grief has a way of stealing your words. I didn't know what I needed most days, and when I did, asking for help felt like one more impossible task. Years later, after talking with countless grieving people, I realized I wasn't alone. So many of us carry the emotional labor of trying to figure out what to ask for while we're already carrying the weight of loss. I created Pull-Up Passes: I Need Your Support to make that part a little easier. These passes give grieving people a simple way to say, "This is what would help me right now," without having to explain, justify, or find the perfect words. Sometimes the hardest part isn't that people don't care. It's that grief makes asking for help feel impossible. My hope is that these passes give people permission to receive care and remind them that needing support is not a weakness.
