What this is not

Leaving Lovingly can work alongside licensed and clinical professionals, but does not replace them.

Clear boundaries

  • This is not medical care.
  • This is not therapy.
  • This is not legal or financial advice.
  • This is not emergency support.
  • This does not replace hospice, physicians, nurses, therapists, clergy, attorneys, funeral professionals, or crisis services.

When to seek other help

If there is immediate danger, a medical emergency, thoughts of self-harm, severe impairment, or acute mental health distress, contact emergency services, crisis support, hospice bereavement services, or a licensed mental health professional.
