"I've been searching for a therapist online and in person after losing my husband 2.5yrs ago. I've tried a few things but they weren't meeting my needs. Grief Works showed up in my feed when I was struggling. I took it as a sign. I'm so glad I did. I'm finally getting the help and resources I need with the app and community. This is a life changing, life saving programme."

Invaluable Guidance Through Grief

As a retired psychiatrist, I’ve never found anything as helpful as this app. I lost my guy 3 weeks ago. Its tools bring calm, hope, and guidance in grief. Truly invaluable and highly recommended.

Daryl

Deeply Comforting

My husband suddenly died two months ago, at the age of 56. I could see no hope. I signed up to Grief Works. I can’t really explain it other than I felt that someone really understood the agony I was in. I’m not sure I would be here had it not been for Grief Works.

Sarah

Highly Recommended

I recommend this to everyone. The exercises were effective in managing my grief especially with my sudden loss. It’s interactive with weekly live group sessions where one connects with others in similar circumstances and daily group meditation sessions. Grief is complex. There’s no reason to do it alone. It’s amazing. 5 star.

Kay

Wish I Found It Sooner

It’s been two and a half years since I lost my son to suicide, and Grief Works helped me put words to feelings I hadn’t been able to express. It reassured me that while I’m not ‘okay,’ I’ve been finding ways to be okay more often and that in itself is healing. I only wish I’d found it sooner.
