MONEY STUFF — THE AFTERMATH DIARIES

Last updated: March 2026

Transparency matters, especially when you're vulnerable. Here's the deal with affiliate links on this site.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on THE AFTERMATH DIARIES are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

How We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate links may appear in:

Book recommendations
Product reviews or mentions
Resource pages
THE AFTERMATH DIARIES posts that reference specific products or services

When a post or page contains affiliate links, we aim to disclose this clearly within the content itself. This page serves as a blanket disclosure for the entire site.

Our Editorial Independence

This is the important part: affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations.

We only recommend products, books, services, and resources that we genuinely believe are useful for people who are grieving. Our editorial content is based on personal experience, research, and honest evaluation — not on which company pays the highest commission.

If something is on this site, it's because we think it's worth your time. If we wouldn't recommend it to a friend who just lost someone, it doesn't make the cut — regardless of any potential affiliate revenue.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running a website costs money — hosting, domain registration, email services, design, and the time it takes to research and write content. Affiliate income helps offset these costs and allows us to keep the site running and the content free for everyone who needs it.

We will never:

Recommend a product or service solely because it has an affiliate program
Let affiliate relationships influence our honest opinions
Promote products or services we haven't vetted or don't believe in
Prioritize revenue over the wellbeing of our readers

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that we disclose any material connection between us and the companies whose products or services we recommend.
