Empathy, New York, NY (2026)

12/30/2025

In a year defined by constant change, one belief guided our work: support shouldn’t be optional in life’s hardest moments, it should be built in.

2025 was about expanding that belief into action, reaching more people, more partners, and more critical moments around the world.

These milestones tell part of the story. The rest is written by the people we serve, and the teams and partners who make this work possible.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
2026, we're ready for you.

A few words from Eve Lewis, Empathy’s Mindfulness Expert, on how she used meditation to navigate the loss of her parents. She reflects on impermanence, one of mindfulness’s core teachings, and the reminder that nothing stays the same forever.

Today marks a major milestone for Empathy: our official expansion to the United Kingdom!

As we bring our mission to support families through one of life’s hardest yet often overlooked moments to a new region, we’re also releasing The Cost of Loss: The UK’s Bereavement Burden, our latest research report.

The need for better support has never been more evident, and the data proves it:
🇬🇧 1 in 3 people who navigated a life insurance claim after a loss felt undersupported, rising to 46% of Gen Z.
🇬🇧 48% of bereaved employees would consider leaving their job without adequate support, rising to 74% of Gen Z.
🇬🇧 57% would choose one insurer over another based on the bereavement support offered.

For insurers and employers, this represents a powerful opportunity: to support people at their most vulnerable while strengthening relationships, improving retention, and building lasting business growth. We’ve seen this time and again in North America, and the UK data reinforces the same need—and the same potential.

Our goal remains the same: to help families access true support when they need it most, while strengthening the systems they rely on.

Eve Lewis shares why she’s partnering with Empathy as our Mindfulness Expert, and how her own experiences with loss have shaped the way she shows up for others. Grief is personal, layered, and never linear, and her perspective helps us deepen the support we provide to every person we serve, further expanding the Empathy Support System with experts who offer strength, clarity, and care when it matters most.

Eve’s meditations, audio guides, and mindful practices will be woven throughout Empathy Loss Support.

When pregnancy loss isn’t acknowledged, the workplace feels it: through disengagement, burnout, and rising turnover costs.

Empathy’s Pregnancy Loss Support extends care beyond traditional benefits, helping employees feel supported through loss — not left to manage it alone.

When open enrollment season comes around, estate planning doesn’t always make the list. But why?

In our recent In Good Company virtual event, Hebba Youssef, CPO at Workweek and Founder of "I Hate It Here” newsletter, explored why it deserves a place alongside every other benefit.

We review our benefits, adjust our coverage, and protect our families financially, but most of us are missing the plan that ties it all together.

Your estate plan fills the gaps a 401(k) or life insurance policy can’t; carrying your voice forward, protecting your legacy, and giving your loved ones clarity when they need it most.

A loss unseen by others can still affect those who feel it, physically and emotionally. When companies acknowledge pregnancy loss as a legitimate reason for leave, they’re reinforcing a culture of compassion and trust.

According to our 2025 annual research report, The Grief Tax, nearly 80% of bereaved employees considered quitting and over 75% feared losing their job after a loss, with work-related impacts lasting an average of 16 months.

With Empathy, much of the emotional and practical burden is eased, providing guidance through the steps ahead so parents can focus on grieving, healing, and moving forward.

For families, this support offers validation. For companies, it builds resilience. For all of us, it’s a step towards building more compassionate workplaces.

We asked, you answered.

This October gave voice to what so many have been feeling: the conversations not being had, and the support that isn’t felt.

That led us to one truth: workplaces could and should do more to support employees through pregnancy and infant loss, a reality affecting one in four pregnancies and countless families beyond that.

Despite family health and parental benefits ranking among today’s top workplace priorities, meaningful support for this experience remains largely absent. The result: a profound gap, where up to 25% of parents face anxiety, depression, or PTSD without the care they deserve.

That’s why today, we’re proud to introduce Pregnancy Loss Support, an expansion of Empathy’s Loss Support product.

Because pregnancy loss is just as professional as it is personal, this expanded offering includes:
💜 Tailored step-by-step care plans for the emotional and practical challenges of loss
💜 A library of resources shaped with Dr. Jessica Zucker, supporting every stage of the experience
💜 Audio guides, meditations, and a private journaling space to process the wide range of emotions that follow loss
💜 Real-time access to trained Care Managers for comfort, guidance, and practical help

For the thousands of employers already offering Empathy’s bereavement care to their workforce, this expanded support will be included as part of that benefit.

We’re proud to introduce Dr. Jessica Zucker, Empathy’s Pregnancy Loss Expert, who helped guide the experience and content for our Pregnancy Loss Support Program.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Zucker brings unparalleled expertise and compassion to her role, helping Empathy provide evidence-based guidance, emotional support, and practical resources to employees navigating pregnancy and infant loss.

Her work reminds us that pregnancy loss is as much a professional experience as it is a personal one, and that supporting employees through it builds trust, resilience, and a culture of care.

Every single week, about 2.6 million full-time U.S. employees on average miss work because of illness or injury.

Behind that number are millions of people navigating uncertainty, stress, and recovery, and employers facing the heavy toll that absence takes on business productivity.

Today, Empathy is proud to introduce our new product, Leave Support, to transform how people navigate time away from, and their return to, the workplace.

Launching first through our collaboration with MetLife, Leave Support brings technology to the heart of recovery. By combining automated routines, smart reminders, and adaptive guidance with instant access to human care, Empathy helps employees heal with structure and purpose, rebuilding confidence and routine throughout their recovery. For employers, it means smoother transitions back to work, fewer disruptions, and a stronger foundation for wellbeing and productivity at scale.

Leave Support represents the next step in Empathy’s mission to transform how people are supported through life’s toughest moments–from loss to legacy to leave.

💜 is a reminder that healing doesn’t follow a timeline.
After pregnancy loss, symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression can linger well beyond the first month, with many still feeling the effects many months later. Our research shows that the emotional toll often outlasts the physical recovery, underscoring how vital ongoing support and open conversation truly are.
