Grief Works: Self Care & Love 12+

I’ve just been using the app a couple of months and can already tell that the design, the tools, and the measured quality content work well with the way my brain works. And so I keep coming back to it. I cannot say that about many apps. It is self paced so I can interact as I wish and the nudges, should I agree to them, are gentle and non invasive. Which I appreciate because grief comes and goes and I do not always feel up to engaging the feelings needed to process and heal. I am glad I purchased this app over anything else that is out there, it has already proven it’s value to me, and when I do the math doesn’t cost more than the many entertainment streaming services I subscribe to. I would rather invest in my healing several hours a week if I had to choose between the two. I’ve learned that grief can present in many different forms that we don’t normally associate. I’ve also learned I’ve been grieving a series of events most of my life and blamed the events or the loss or the people as causing the pain. When what I was really doing was grieving them. I highly recommend using this app, it could improve your life.

I had lost my brother to covid, I found myself coming up against the friction of covid being a constant conversation (news, small talk, social media, etc.) while also holding space for the loss inside. I was exhausted and tired, and truly hurting and needed some extra support. I’d read online about this app so I thought I’d try it out. I had no expectations and was also skeptic, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The exercises helped me wrap my head and heart around things. It gave me a space to open up to myself about my own grief. And to slow the spinning world down enough to make space for this new reality. It’s been a couple months since I finished the program and I truly truly feel it helped me process a sudden and painful loss while also living in a politicized global health crisis. The app gave me a place to connect and process. If you are seeking ways to support yourself as you process your loss, I would absolutely recommend this app. It without a doubt helped me process and was worth the time and effort. Losing someone we love can be so overwhelming and lonely at times. But there is hope, even in an app on your phone. And it does help. ❤️

Hi there. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, what a difficult time you must have had. Thank you for taking the time to leave such an honest and thoughtful review, we really do appreciate it. I hope the tools in the app continue to provide you with in-the-moment support.

I am feeling better from working through the Grief Works sessions. I’ve done 15 of the 28 so far and watched 5 of the suggested grief movies. My husband died 10 months ago. I was doing much to face my grief and give it space yet still mired in the dense heavy weight of grief debilitating my motivation and energy. I realized I needed more structure and this app has helped bring me perspective. Sounds simple yet if you know grief you know nothing is simple in the weight of grief. And everything takes more energy and more recovery time. Grief work is hard. It’s painful. It’s necessary for survival. It’s part of life. It sprouts new life with hope. And that is energizing. This app is well designed, reasonably priced, and worth the valuable work it inspires. YOU are worth the work. When you are ready. Every bit has helped me towards being present and returning myself to me. Well done Julia and all the team that makes this app a success. Thank you!
