Leave a Review Good Grief
A good support for grief
I have been using this app for a number of years, starting shortly after my daughter died. It seems much more personal than some of the large on line groups. I connected with another mom who had lost her daughter and and a grandmother who had lost her grandson. We touch base almost everyday to support each other. They have become friends even though we’ve never met. A tremendous support on those dark days! The app does require a bit of picking and choosing but it’s all one on one which I like. The developers are very responsive to any report of inappropriate messages. It’s a safe space to share your grief.Show lessmspeg!
Doesn’t work on iPhone
I tried to use this app but it wouldn’t allow me to go past a certain point because the submit button was underneath the keyboard. It wouldn’t let me submit when it required an answer to their question to move forward.Mlprandomness1
Outraged
My account got terminated and I did nothing wrong you can’t or won’t say what it is Iv ment to of done or said because I did absolutely nothing wrong. I do not recommend this app to anyone you get accused of disgusting things while your grieving. STAY CLEARshelllllllllllyyyyyyy
A disappointment
This idea of this app is great. However it’s being misused as a means for dating pickups for no-gooders. For someone who was looking for real support this was a huge downer and left me feeling more empty than had I never used the app at all. A disclaimer or maybe a banner warning all users that genuine users come here to help or to seek help from others experiencing the pain of recovery from the loss of someone they cared about would improve this app. It may not keep all selfish people away but it could encourage real heart to heart connections.Show less$tr8tupp
Needed a place
I was suspended for what they say was incomplete profile. Even though I was active in the community and made genuine connections with others grieving. Never mind the men who treated the site like it was tinder or the multi level marketing scams that constantly messaged. Pretty sad.gingernado
Not helpful and scammers
I have been looking for an outlet since my mother passed. I found this app and hoped for the best. It wasn’t what I expected, it felt more like a chat room than anything else. Lots of people felt creepy and not genuine asking for more info or to download other apps to chat privately. It felt like I was being scammed or hit on by creeps if the internet. I deleted it immediately.Show lessmckmousey
It’s not bad..but
So this app is genuine. It can be helpful and what not. I’ve had the app for about 2 days thinking I could lend a shoulder or an ear to others like me but my category is very limited and also there were a lot of people who seemed suspicious.
I had one person asking me questions about my credit score and if I needed help and what my phone service provider was like..that our conversation was confidential..what does that have to do with the loss of parents and my grieving process..what does it have to do with bereavement? Another person wanted me to add them on google hangouts and WhatsApp.
Watch the certain people you “connect” with. If you’re extremely vulnerable it can just seem like these people or a person can get past you. And trust me that’s the worst thing and the worst feeling. I’m sad, I’m broken, and supposedly you’re seeming to try to take advantage of me or ask me unnecessary suspicious questions? Absolutely not.
With this pandemic going on a lot of people are looking for outlets because we can’t go outside to get the ACTUAL help we need..one-on-ome. Therapy and counseling cost money but for a common person to connect and listen to me..and vice-versa costs nothing with the use of this app.Show lessNaa-Sewaa
Unjustified Suspension!
I was only on the app for about a week. I had been encouraged and began encouraging others. I had a connect request from someone and accepted it. She began asking for pictures and telling me she wanted a serious relationship. I am vulnerable after the loss of my spouse and we took it’ll the conversation out of the app and to a different platform. In “getting to know each other” I sent her a pic of me as a reply to one she sent to me. A day later I get suspended by the moderators of THIS app for “multiple accounts”, “previous suspensions”, and using the app “inappropriately”. After trying to explain twice via email I was met with the closed door in the face answer that I will remain suspended.
Thanks but no thanks!! I was taken advantage of. But because I’m a man I guess I don’t count!Show lessPurityisbeautiful
Finally
An app that can help you grieve with others that understand and can give solid advice on how they struggled and overcame their sadness. Yes there are people that use it for other than grieving, but follow the rules of the app and you’ll be fine. Thank you so much for this app it was a godsend.LizM4078
It’s okay....
The idea is great, and I have found connections with some good people. The bad part is that just about every man that comes on the app tries to pick me up. This is not a dating app!! With grief, I don’t want to be prejudiced against all men, as men grieve too, but I now block all men from being able to connect to me. EVERY single one hits on me, even after I tell them that I am married. I changed the settings to female only, but I still get requests from men. They also try to get me to use a different app or give them my phone number or email! Too many men are using this for purposes other than what it was created for. It is not always a safe space.Show lessMy3Js
