Your child is sick: how do you keep family and friends informed?
When your child is sick or in the hospital, your attention goes primarily to your child. At the same time, family, friends, school, neighbors, and colleagues often empathize deeply and want to know how things are going.
All that engagement is valued. But repeatedly sharing the same update or answering messages can take a heavy toll on you, especially at such a moment.
With Stamps, you keep family and friends updated from one private place when your child is sick or in the hospital. You share one update with the people you invite yourself.
This way, you don't have to update everyone individually, leaving you with more time and attention for your child and your family.
One place for updates about your child
After an examination, surgery, or consultation with a doctor, you can post an update in Stamps with text, photos, or video.
The people you have invited can read the message and respond. This way, they know what is going on without you having to tell the same story over and over again.
Decide for yourselves who knows what
Not every update needs to be intended for everyone. In Stamps, you can work with different circles. This way, you can share some information only with your immediate family and other messages with a larger group.
You decide who is involved.
Even if your child is in the hospital for a longer period of time
During a prolonged hospital stay, days can blend into one another. A lot happens, and meanwhile, normal life goes on.
Your Stamps timeline keeps track of what you have shared chronologically. This allows people to read back what happened later, so you don't have to constantly search through different group chats.
A timeline for the future
What you share during your child's illness or hospitalization remains on the timeline. Later, you can read back what happened during that intense period.
Moreover, you can have a personalized memory book made from the timeline.
Support from the people around you
Family and friends can react to updates and show their sympathy with the orange heart.
You can also share a request via Stamps if you could use some help with something.
Safe and private
