Say the goodbye you didn't get to say
Some goodbyes never happen. They die in a hospital corridor, in a moved-out apartment, in a friendship that just stopped. Startover is a place to say the goodbye out loud.
Who this is for
For people whose goodbye was cut short — by death, by sudden silence, by a fight, by distance, by a move. For people who said goodbye but only the surface version. For people who realize, years later, that there was a goodbye they never said.
How Startover helps
Distill the person from any record you have, or describe them in 14 questions if you have nothing. Pick the "say goodbye" scenario in the sandbox. Say it — long version, short version, whatever you have to say. The persona responds. The reflection afterwards stays with you.
Take the time
Free during beta. There is no clock. Many users come on an anniversary, on a birthday, or on a random Tuesday at 2am.
Common questions
Is this for goodbyes after a death only?
No. It works for any goodbye that didn't happen — a friendship that ended without explanation, a relationship cut short, a colleague you didn't get to send off, a parent you couldn't reach in time, a pet who passed.
Will I cry?
Possibly. Many users do. The reflection at the end is designed to help you read back what you said gently, not analytically.
Can I do this more than once?
Yes. Some users come back on the same date each year. Some come once and never again. Both are fine.
