Untangle: Grief Support

This app has been helpful for me as it connects me with others going through similar experiences, making me feel less alone. By trying to help and offer support to others, I am better able to understand my own feelings and come up with coping strategies. The group system is beneficial as it prevents strong emotions from clashing. Grief is unique for everyone, and when losing someone to suicide, for example, anger towards the person may arise during the grieving process. This can clash with those who lost someone due to old age. The group system allows everyone to express their truth and emotions without fear of triggering others. Traditional grief groups often include individuals with vastly different situations, which can hinder progress.

The app, the community and team have been a lifeline during the most difficult time in my life, losing my partner. The groups, support sessions and coping tools have helped me to I’m not alone in this grief journey whilst supporting others going through a similar journey. I would recommend this app to anyone that has experienced a loss.

Grief is difficult for everyone involved. This app, I believe, is for anyone finding difficulty in expressing how they feel to friends and family. Reading others experiences help me to understand that grief is so individual. I’ve been bowled over by the care and concern of others on this site who, even though they are dealing with their own sadness, find it in their hearts to offer comfort to others.
