Quality of Life Assessment
A structured way to look clearly at your pet's daily experience. Based on the HHHHHMM scale — adapted for compassionate use, not clinical scoring. For when you need something honest to hold onto.
Takes about 10–15 minutes
These aren't quizzes or checklists for the sake of it. Each tool was built for a specific moment in the grief journey — to help you see more clearly, not to tell you what to decide.
All tools are free. No account required.

A place to gather the small things — the habits, the moments, the details you want to keep. Write as little or as much as you need. Nothing here is graded.
Your entries are only on your device — never sent to a server
Not a calculator. Not a test. A set of questions to help you see more clearly — the kind you might talk through with a trusted vet, but can also sit with alone.
This guide does not tell you what to decide. Only you and your vet know your pet.
Home burial, cremation, communal or private — each option has emotional, practical, and logistical dimensions. This walkthrough helps you understand what each means before you have to decide.
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, but tracking how you feel over time can show you that things do shift — even when it doesn't feel that way yet. A gentle daily check-in.

These tools are a starting point — not a replacement for real support. If you're struggling, reaching out to a grief counselor or community can make a real difference.
