Grief Refuge

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.

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.

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.
