I liked it until

I had to login which I don’t think you should have to do every time. I couldn’t remember my password so I tried to reset it. It required a secret code that I didn’t know. Tried to reregister and of course I already have an account.

I’m grieving. I don’t need this frustration so I deleted it. Too bad because it was nice.

Anchored

I have been using this app for at least a year after losing 2 immediate family members 3 mom. apart. The daily thoughts have kept me
From falling over the edge in my grief. Thank you Reid!

Great daily support

Since our devastating loss, this app has provided us daily messages and thoughts of support and ways to help navigate our grief journey. It has been a significant help to us!!! Thanks Reid 💔

Comforting and supportive app

At a time when I have been feeling deep grief I have found this app to be of much comfort. Reid is very insightful and I find the daily intentions helpful and meaningful. Of course nothing will take away the pain of losing a loved one. I listen to certain podcasts that speak to me over again. It would likely be of more benefit to pay for the daily meditations but I have not done so as yet.

Better than others

No judgment. Just a wonderful quiet respectful place to honor your grief. I’ve tried other grief apps but this one allows you your grief. Has a place for expression, for refuge, for sacred space and an understanding as to how to help create a place of your own sacred space. Soft encouraging messages and a soft podcast of reinforcement. I found it to actual renourish my soul. Thank you for this app, brother.

Response from developer

Thank you for giving the time and energy to help support you. What matter most is that your grief is validated, you feel seen, heard, and understood. We do all we can to help create that type of space so that you feel supported and welcomed to process grief in whatever way feels right to you.

Good, but…

Good app with well-rounded suite of resources. Professional and relevant. For me the content is too general, as only interested in specific type of grief and this is a generalist app. Don’t use some of the options. Not right for me at this time.

Grief Refuge

I use this app daily & find it to be a great resource on my grief journey. Reid always has something helpful to ponder. The music along with his narrative is soothing.

Response from developer

Feeling soothed is an underrated quality for processing grief. The journey can be so chaotic and so painful, it's good to feel soothed from time to time. Thank you for your review and trusting the Grief Refuge app to help support you on the journey.

Thank you for the reminder notifications

I really enjoy listening to the daily reflections and REALLY appreciate the app notification when the new one come out.
As a person that stays busy (my favorite go to grief avoidance coping mechanism 😬) it is wonderful to get a reminder to just stop, take a breath, and spend time each day string with myself. It’s

Grief refuge app

This app has helped me so much I even recommend it to several people. I lost my mom recently from a long battle to cancer. Sometimes I’m not sure how to verbalize what is happening with me and I listen to the daily wisdom and it helps to explain that what I’m feeling is normal. Highly recommend this app.
