This Works
I have recently had a bereavement and I have to say I have felt doing something everyday has been helpful.During that time,twice a day, just for me to focus on ,feel and acknowledge my pain. Then to write down my thoughts really was good.Everything is there to refer back to. Highly recommend
Lifesaving
If you have lost someone you care about, get this app now. Don’t wait.
Loss of grandson
I am a retired civil servant who has unfortunately just lost her seventh grandson.
This app is beginning to help me deal with my feelings. It was recommended by CS bereavement charity and although I was sceptical it is beginning to help me understand my feelings

Comfort
I was sceptical and initially didn’t like being reminded daily of my loss but that aside it’s v helpful to know I’m not going mad - that others feel the same way. That grief is a v moveable beast but I do my best to engage with life but equally give myself permission to have a day in bed if that’s how I’m feeling that day. I talk to understanding and dear friends. I’ll continue the course …… thankyou 💖

Its been a real life line to have discovered and to engage with the grief works experience. I have found the morning and evening gratitude check ins really holding. The live weekly group sessions feel incredibly significant and moving. To know you are diligently working through grief exercises alongside others is important and validating. Its also great you can go ar your own pace and zoom in on areas that have particular resonance. Day at a time - exercise at a time. - you are in experienced albeit virtual hands

Help is given on your terms at a pace you need
I’m finding this app very helpful as the 28 sessions gives me time to reflect and understand what I’m feeling and provides useful tools for coping. Most importantly, I can engage as much as I need and I can miss days if I don’t feel up to it. There’s no pressure. I will try the live and group sessions at some point, but I’m not ready yet.

My love
My wonderful husband Jeff , my best friend and soul mate for 41 years died after a short but vicious illness in May.
I contacted Cruse on a particularly sad day and following a long empathetic and practical chat with a lovely counsellor she suggested Julia Samuel - who I immediately felt very comfortable with - and the Grief Works app which has reaffirmed that’s it’s ok to grieve in any form.
I feel the bereavement course will be very beneficial and soothing as I’m so wired and tired

Support
I have found the Grief Works Support Programme very supportive and helps me on my grief journey. The journalling and the meets up on a Monday evening very helpful. It’s good to speak to people in the same situation who understand how you feel. Often you hear worse stories than your own. I recommend joining

Very useful course and tools
I logged into the Grief Works programme on recommendation of a grieving friend and have found it useful in working through my grief. I use the tools when I feel I need help and enjoy the morning sessions when I have time

Really Helps with recent loss
Grief Works has been very helpful stepping me thru the process of grieving along with giving me hope for a better future on my own.
Excellent
I have only been using the app for four days and already found it a great support
Grief Works
I would HIGHLY recommend this app for anyone experiencing grief no matter how recent or long ago you lost your loved one 💗
I wish I had heard of the app years ago.
Julia and Nick are so lovely and warm, sincere and supportive.
Julia’s experience of supporting those are grieving shines through as she gently soothes and supports you.
Ceri who leads the daily online meditation/time to just be session is brilliant. He has such a wonderful approach, amazing knowledge and techniques.
Thank you I shall be using the app throughout my life 🙏

Feeling understood
Grief Works is helping me to separate out all the confusion and mixed emotions going around in my head.
It’s also helped me to realise that my grief is unique to me and I don’t need to feel guilty on days when I get on with my life.
I like the way I can use the app at my own pace.

Grief Support
Signing up to Grief Works is really helping me through my grief journey. It is only 8 months since my husband passed away but the tools available are a great support when I use them. Responses to queries are always quick and are never “standard responses” which makes me feel that any response has been carefully thought through. For me personally it is money well spent.

Most helpful and genuine App. Available
I only managed to do part of the course due to ill health. However I found it to be the most well structured, helpful and genuine help that is out there. All the people involved with Grief Works are sincere and honest in wanting to help us move forward and be able to understand our emotions and feelings and ultimately cope with our grief. I especially can’t thank Julia and Nick enough for all their help!
I hope to do the course again when I’m better and have already told my daughters and friends all about how helpful it was and will continue to recommend it to anyone who is grieving and feeling lost. Patricia ❤️

Really Helpful
I have found the Grief Works app and support program extremely helpful as I live with and process my grief. I like the fact that sessions are “bite size” so I can take my time over them and move on to the next one when I’m ready. The meeting videos are also very much appreciated, practical advice delivered with real empathy and compassion. Thank you 💕

Grief Works App
I am a mental health practitioner by profession so can be someone reluctant to seek support through an ‘App’ but have found this one to be a valuable tool to support, coach and challenge everything that needs to be through the very hard grieving process. The ability to meet others online going through the same. Now I know what the saying ‘no pain no gain’ really means to be able to heal and thrive. And I love the ‘puddle’ analogy. I would highly recommend investing in the ‘Grief Works’ app.

Gentle, comprehensive guidance
My brother recently used MAID, or medical assistance to die, after months of rapidly losing his abilities to move, talk, eat, swallow and breathe with Multiple System Atrophy. While I was glad for him that he was able to die on his own terms I found it extremely difficult to navigate grieving him while he was still living while I was helping to take care of him, then watching death sick his life from him when he took the concoction of meds , and now grieving the loss of my brother. I still don’t know the use of grief. I have a wonderful therapist and joined an in-person grief support group because I strongly believe healing happens in the context of face-to-face relationships with other real live humans, but haven’t found the support group to be particularly helpful. This app IS amazingly helpful. I’m so glad I found it. The range of support strategies it offers provides a wealth of options to choose from. I love how this app allows each user to take what we need as we need it. I can’t say enough good about it. The daily gratitude reviews, the lessons, the mindfulness exercises, the regular prompts to reflect, the visualizations, breathing exercises, etc. offer a huge toolbox. I’m exceedingly grateful to be able to use this app to lean on and guide me on my journey. I highly recommend it. It’s invaluable.
