A Space for Bereaved Parents, Families and Friends

You did not
lose your child
in silence.

Nathaniel is a safe, compassionate space built for parents who have lost a child to suicide, and for the siblings, partners, friends and family members who grieve alongside them. You are not alone in this. And you do not have to carry this without support.

“I built this because I needed it, and I could not find it anywhere.”— Keith D. Terry, Founder · Father
Founded by a Bereaved Father
Suicide Loss Specific
Available 24 Hours a Day
Clinically Informed
Private and Secure

“No support group. No app. No resource built for this exact, devastating kind of loss. So I built one — in his name.”

Keith D. Terry — Father of Kyle Nathaniel Terry

Why Nathaniel Exists

Built from the
most personal place
a father can stand.

In 2022, Keith D. Terry lost his son, Kyle Nathaniel Terry, to suicide. In the days and weeks that followed, Keith searched for the kind of support that felt specific to this kind of loss — the particular grief of a parent whose child died by suicide.

He could not find it. Not a resource built for this. Not a community that understood the guilt, the questions, the silence at the dinner table, the way anniversaries feel. What existed was general. What he needed was particular.

Nathaniel is his answer. A platform built with the authenticity of lived experience, informed by clinical research, and designed to do one thing well: meet you exactly where you are.

What We Offer

Someone to talk to.
Any time. Without judgment.

Always Here

Nathaniel is available at 3 in the morning, on anniversaries, in the silence after everyone else has gone home. You talk. Nathaniel listens. No scripts. No judgment. No time limit.

You Are Not Alone

There are other parents carrying exactly what you are carrying right now. Nathaniel connects you with a private, moderated community of bereaved parents and families — people who do not need you to explain yourself because they already understand.

Support Built for This

Every resource, every prompt, every piece of guidance on this platform was built for suicide loss specifically. Not general grief content adapted to fit. The guilt, the questions, the anger, the silence — Nathaniel was designed around the particular weight of exactly this loss.

How It Works

Simple. Private.
Available when you need it.

01

You join at your own pace.

There is no pressure. Create a private, secure account and enter only what you are ready to share. Nathaniel meets you where you are — not where we think you should be.

02

The companion learns your story.

As you interact, the Nathaniel companion builds context around your experience — your loss, your timeline, what matters to you — so every conversation feels continuous and personal, not scripted.

03

You connect when it feels right.

Access peer community features, curated resources, guided reflection prompts, and anniversary support tools on your own schedule. Nothing is required. Everything is available.

04

Professional support stays close.

Nathaniel actively encourages connection with qualified mental health professionals and collaborates with therapy practices and grief organizations. We are a complement to clinical care, never a replacement for it.

I did not build Nathaniel to replace therapy, community, or human connection. I built it so no bereaved parent ever has to face 3 in the morning alone, without anyone to talk to who understands exactly what they are carrying.

Important to Know

What Nathaniel is not.

We want to be honest with you about what this platform is, and what it is not. Clarity is part of how we care for you.

Not a Crisis Line

Nathaniel is not a crisis intervention service. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. Your safety comes first.

Not a Therapist

Nathaniel does not provide clinical therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. It is a compassionate companion and peer support space. We actively encourage you to work with a licensed mental health professional alongside your use of this platform.

Not a Quick Fix

Grief does not have a finish line. Nathaniel is not a program you complete. It is a space you can return to — on hard days, on anniversaries, on ordinary Tuesdays when the weight simply arrives without warning.

Not General Grief Content

This platform was built specifically for suicide loss. If you have lost someone to another cause, we honor your grief deeply — and we want to be transparent that this space was designed with a specific kind of loss at its center.
