The app was developed by the team of volunteers and supporters from the non-profit www.MyGriefAngels.org. A development team who have all grieved themselves,and included features on this app that they searched for, but could not find.

APP FEATURES: 
Grief is different for each of us, so the app aimed at including what our development team of volunteers saw as the most commonly used resources and needs; including:

### 5/5 — very helpful

*2018-11-23, version 19*

Holidays are never easy when dealing with grief, and this free app has a lot of useful info and tools

### 5/5 — Best online Grieg support resources

*2018-03-29, version 19*

This app has hands down best collection of “real” grief support resources and someone wrote a review here about a network - but they need to realize the app lets us create our own support network with friends and families

This is not one of the many online chats groups where we all talk about our grief, but a directory of well organized education, information and shared stories how many of us are “actually” getting thru our own grief

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-11-21, version 19*

There is no network. Most of it is dead. No help

### 2/5 — Useless for those outside the USA

*2016-01-02*

Virtually useless outside the USA if you want to meet up with other people experiencing a similar situation. All the links and info are American organisations. In a country like mine of 25 million people, only 3 are registered users. To use some of the features you also have to download another app or sign up to other websites.
Lots of better options out there. Keep searching.

### 5/5 — Great resource for people grieving

*2015-04-12, version 14.0.0*

Great idea and resource for people grieving. I really appreciated this app because it helps and brings people together .
