Grief doesn't follow a schedule — but support can. Milestone Five helps families, friends, and communities stay present through the moments that matter most by sharing responsibility, remembering together, and showing up with intention.
Simple & EffectiveHere's How it Works
You can begin building your circle of support in three easy steps:
Create a Life Event
Record significant moments—loss of a loved one, diagnosis, job change, or any life-altering event that needs support.
Invite Your Support Circle
Bring together friends, family, and community members to form an unwavering circle of support around those who need it.
Get Reminders & Show Up
Receive timely reminders for key dates, anniversaries, and milestones so you never miss a moment to reach out.
What Is Milestone Five?
Milestone Five is a shared space for intentional support during grief and life-changing moments.
When someone experiences loss, support often comes quickly — and then quietly fades. Not because people don't care, but because life moves on. Milestone Five helps care last.
By creating a support circle around a life event, friends, family, and community members can remember important dates, acknowledge milestones, and show up together — without relying on one person to carry it all alone.
Milestone Five isn't social media, and it isn't therapy.
It's a private, invitation-only space designed to help people show up consistently — with empathy, intention, and shared responsibility.
Because the moments that matter most deserve more than good intentions.

What Makes Milestone Five Different
Texts & Group Chats
Messages come in waves — then disappear into busy threads. Important dates get buried, and responsibility often falls on one or two people.
Personal Calendars & Reminders
Calendars help individuals remember, but grief is rarely carried alone. They don't create shared responsibility or meaningful connection.
Milestone Five
Milestone Five creates a shared space where care is intentional, visible, and sustained. Milestones are remembered together, support is shared, and no one has to carry it all alone.
Milestone Five is private, invitation-only, and built specifically for moments of grief and life transition — without ads, algorithms, or public timelines.
It's not about doing more — it's about showing up better, together.

"I wanted to change the way people think about helping others who are going through grief and loss."
From her experience, Dr. Chavers realized that most people don't understand the complexity of the grief and loss journey. And because of that, they miss the important milestones associated with the process. MileStone Five helps people show up meaningfully and consistently for those they care about.
Real stories of showing up — again and again.
For those supporting others through grief over time
I have found MileStone Five incredibly helpful in taking my pastoral care to another level. Having a tool to help me remember important dates for members leads me to reach out and let them know they are deeply cared for and what's important to them is also important to their pastor. The platform is easy to use, well designed and simple.

When remembering milestones feels heavy
Death and grief are already such difficult topics to deal with. Then, with the business of life and even our own emotional capacity, it can feel overwhelming to keep up with the dates that are so monumental to those who mean the most to us. This is where MileStone Five is such a blessing! MS5 has become my storehouse for important dates that my heart wants to remember, but my mind forgets! And it sends me reminders so I can reach out to those I love and acknowledge the anniversaries and birthdates of those who have passed. Thank you for this meaningful gift!

When communities want to show up — together
MileStone Five (MS5) helped me to be supportive of people I care about as they experienced grief. It has been most helpful due to the many losses we experienced during the pandemic. I recommend individuals, as well as organizations, especially the faith community, to use MS5 to support their grieving members.
