Way too costly for a young widow with kids
It’s 11.99/month and they don’t tell you that until after you give them your email.
Response from developer
Hi Ldyae, thanks for your review. We're sorry the monthly subscription price does not meet your expectations. However, please know that you can use several features of the Grief Refuge app for free. Thanks, the Grief Refuge team.
It’s 2022, there’s no reason why you can’t make this more accessible
This app, like many others of its kind, has absolutely no option for caption on the recordings. How is that useful to people who are deaf or HOH? Thank you for making an app to help people with the loss of their loved ones but you should have captions on your recordings. Had to uninstall this within minutes of downloading it because I can’t use it due to no captions.

Hi Zoran98, We're working hard to add closed captioning to our audio programming. Thanks for your patience as we develop the inclusion of the technology. The Grief Refuge team.

Grief Refuge has been a HUGE support to me with the loss of my husband. Every item listened to is helpful, supportive and calming. I listen to something here at least twice daily.
I am very grateful for this app!

Honest & Truthful - Recommended
Since a recent bereavement I’ve read a lot of books and articles, and listened to a fair few podcasts on grief. I’ve also tried several apps. This is the best by far, which I’m basing on the podcasts, primarily. Reid Peterson is thoughtful, kind and has ideas to make things more bearable. His experiences and accounts really resonate. Also, it’s good to hear a podcast focused on different aspects of grief - there are quite a few podcasts where people talk to celebrities about death and while there is a place for that, this to me is much more helpful.
I’m only using the free resources, but they’ve really made me feel less alone - which is a win from me. I think this app could be of real help to many people struggling with how overwhelming grief is.

So supportive
Reid provides a really supportive, informative and soothing message. His podcasts and daily messages are helping myself and my wife deal with the tragic loss of our son. His approach is sincere and the most authentic voice we are listening to. We are so grateful.
Private, prolific support
Love this app! Whatever you’re feeling in the moment- there’s a tool or talk to meet your needs. The author’s messages are soothing and healing. Recommended to therapy clients for customized relief related to grief.
Sanctuary from distress
Coping with the loss of a loved one can be messy and painful. This process is not something that can be done intellectually.
This lovely app provides hope in the face of hopelessness.
Providing short reflections on places that we all find ourselves in the process of mourning: loneliness, fatigue, the loss of our previous self world, Grief Refuge is a comforting balm for an aching heart. The author’s soothing voice guides us on inner inquiries and the podcast episodes include discussions with leading writers on navigating this process.
We come away from every session the better for having listened.

Grief companion in my pocket 24/7
I've really enjoyed using the Grief Refuge App over the last couple of months. It truly is like having a grief companion in my pocket 24/7. I love that the Grief Refuge podcast is integrated into the app for easy access. The Journaling function, Intention Exercises and My Grief Journey features make the app interactive and interesting. They help me to gauge my emotions daily which give me a tangible sense of where I am in my grief on any given day and that allows me to look back on previous entries to see where I've come from. The Reflections and Daily Refuge sections really help me navigate the wide array of emotions that come with my grief, and give me practical coping tools. Reid's voice is soothing and comforting to listen to. I highly recommend the Grief Refuge App, especially for anyone who has experienced a recent loss or feels like they are having a hard time processing the emotions that come up after a heartbreaking loss.

Beyond grateful
This app is exactly what I need. It gives me small, doable daily audios to support me with my grief and encourages me to engage more in a gentle way. I love that the support is at my fingertips whenever I am having a moment, feeling overwhelmed and/or alone. Reid’s voice is so soothing and he has a way of saying exactly what I need to hear. I am beyond grateful. Thank you!

Access to support at your fingertips
I’ve been struggling with losing my husband 6 months ago. As a young widow it’s been hard to have time for support groups that truly understand. After finding this app I look forward to the daily refuge and have started to listen to the podcasts as well. It’s the most accessible resource I have found. I would recommend it to all who would like to continue their journey in understanding how this grief can transform us. I look forward to using more of what the app offers.
