Welcome to the Smile Network
Grief is a lifelong journey. The Smile Network is a secure online community where a grieving child can learn about their parent, ask for help when needed, and access important memories through stories, videos and pictures.
Parents or caregivers invite friends and family to join a network they create and administer. This enables a grieving child to learn about their parent from their network, ask for help or support when needed, and access important memories, now and in the future.
Our Smile Network is in its MVP stage, and as such there may be bugs or issues. If you encounter them, or have any ideas for ways we can improve the network, please email us at sn@elizabeth.org
Connections
We believe in making connections that last a lifetime can help grieving children.
Whether a child needs help with math homework or finding a job when they get older, their connections on The Smile Network will be alerted, and if they can help in any way, they’ll be able to interact with the child.
Memories
Pictures, videos, and writings can all be saved by a child in The Smile Network. Their connections will also be able to share memories with the child so their ill parent’s memory can live on.
Milestones
Playing in the big game? Performing in the school’s musical? Celebrating a birthday or graduation?
A child’s connections on their network will be notified of any big events so they can celebrate the child.
Whether virtually or in person, support for the child’s milestones is impactful as they navigate the grieving process.
Support
We all need to vent sometimes. A child will be able to go online and post asking for help or to talk with someone in their network.
They’ll also be able to add a select number of people in their network to a “Favorites” section, which can alert the people in their favorites that the child needs help.
The Smile Network is just one of the core products we’re producing to help a child as they navigate the grieving process. Parents are irreplaceable, but a private social network with the friends, family and colleagues of the ill parent ensures their connections endure.
