AI Medical Scribe for
Sitting with someone's loss requires everything you have — and the session note still has to be written. Medical Scribe drafts it from the session itself, so nothing you owe the record is taken from what you owe the client.
A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for grief counselors — ready before your patient leaves the room.
Session 5, 50 minutes, in-office. Individual grief counseling following the death of the client's husband 7 months ago.
62F — Reports the first week since the funeral in which she 'didn't cry every day.' Returned to volunteering Tuesday mornings. Sleep improved to 6 hours with fewer early wakings. Anniversary of diagnosis approaching next month; anticipating a difficult week. Describes guilt when enjoying activities — 'like I'm forgetting him.'
Arrived on time, groomed, brighter affect than session 4 with tearfulness when discussing the anniversary. Engaged actively in continuing-bonds letter exercise. Completed between-session task of sorting one box of husband's belongings with her sister present.
Grief trajectory progressing; re-engagement with valued activities emerging alongside guilt about enjoyment — normalized in session as a common feature of adaptive grieving. No indicators of prolonged grief disorder at this stage. No suicidal ideation; safety not a current concern. Anticipatory distress around the upcoming anniversary is the near-term focus.
Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.
A grieving client reads every glance at a notepad as distance. The work depends on undivided attention — yet the session record depends on details you'd have to look away to write.
After holding space for five bereaved clients, writing five careful session notes is the last thing left in the tank. Notes get shorter and later exactly when they shouldn't.
Tracking where a client sits between normal grieving and prolonged grief disorder, documenting safety when despair surfaces, and recording interventions — the gentleness of the work doesn't lower the documentation bar.

Grief counseling happens in office sessions, telehealth calls, and sometimes hospice family meetings. Medical Scribe records the session — with your client’s consent — and drafts the note afterward, so your attention during the fiftieth minute is as undivided as it was in the first.
Notes follow the built-in Grief Counsellor’s Note template: Session Details with duration and therapy type; Subjective for the client’s account of their grief since last session; Objective for your observations of affect and engagement; Assessment for progress and any emerging concerns; and Plan for interventions, between-session tasks, and the next appointment.
In bereavement work, nuance is clinical data — the difference between sorrow and hopelessness matters. Medical Scribe documents only what was spoken and observed in the session, never inventing or embellishing, so your record supports sound judgments about grief trajectory and safety. Every note is yours to review and sign.
That's your and your client's decision, made with informed consent like any scribe arrangement. Many clients accept it readily once they understand you'll be more present, not less. Recordings are handled under HIPAA-compliant safeguards with encryption in transit and at rest, and you control the note.
The built-in Grief Counsellor's Note template structures sessions into Session Details, Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan — capturing the interventions you actually used, whether continuing-bonds exercises, meaning reconstruction, or ritual planning. It documents your work, not a generic script.
What was said is documented as it was said — the note never invents, omits, or softens clinical content. That gives you an accurate basis for your own risk assessment and any safety planning, which you review and finalize before signing.
Yes. SOAP, DAP, and custom formats are supported, and you can adapt the Grief Counsellor's Note or build your own template in minutes — useful if your agency or supervision requires a specific structure.
