GEDENKEN SCHENKEN : Trauerbegleitung im Kartenformat - als Trauergeschenk

Hi Product Hunt community 👋 I'm Felix, psychologist and co-founder of GEDENKEN SCHENKEN – together with my wife Julia, a cultural scientist and Gestalt-therapist. A few years ago, our daughter was critically ill. She survived – thankfully. But the experience shook us to the core and opened our eyes to something we hadn't seen before: how poorly our society deals with loss, grief, and the fear of losing someone. As a psychologist, I knew the theory. But standing in that hospital, I realized: when crisis hits, people don't need therapy jargon or a 6-week waiting list. They need something immediate, tangible, and human. We started looking at how grief support actually works – and found two massive gaps: Grieving people are often left alone. Professional support is hard to access, stigmatized, and expensive. Many people – especially men – never seek help at all. The people around them feel helpless. They want to support but don't know how. So they say "stay strong," and hope for the best. We asked ourselves: What if grief support could be something you give to someone? Something that's there at 3am when sleep won't come? No appointment, no stigma, no waiting list? That's how our card set was born: 108 psychologically grounded cards, each covering one aspect of the grief process – from surviving the shock of the first days to finding meaning again. No rigid phases, no timeline. Just honest information and practical impulses, one card at a time. A few things we're proud of: Developed with insights from grief psychology, positive psychology, and Gestalt therapy Printed on grass paper, produced regionally in Germany, assembled in partnership with workshops for people with disabilities 5% of profits go to a foundation supporting bereaved parents We're not a typical Product Hunt launch – but we believe that thoughtful design can make the hardest moments in life a little more bearable. Have you ever struggled to support someone in grief? What did you do – or wish you could have done? Thank you for your time 🙏
