### 3/5 — I liked it until

*2024-07-19, version 1.0.35*

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.

### 5/5 — Anchored

*2024-06-20, version 1.0.35*

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!

### 5/5 — Great daily support

*2023-04-18, version 1.0.35*

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 💔

### 5/5 — Comforting and supportive app

*2022-10-30, version 1.0.34*

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.

### 5/5 — Better than others

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.34*

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.

### 4/5 — Good, but…

*2022-10-01, version 1.0.34*

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.

### 5/5 — Grief Refuge

*2022-09-26, version 1.0.34*

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.

### 5/5 — Thank you for the reminder notifications

*2022-09-23, version 1.0.34*

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

### 5/5 — Grief refuge app

*2022-09-20, version 1.0.34*

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.

### 5/5 — Wonderful resource!

*2022-09-20, version 1.0.34*

I use and recommend this app for many of the bereaved clients I work with!
