Helen Fielding described the book as “essential for anyone who has ever experienced grief, or wanted to comfort a bereaved friend”.

Through the stories of real people’s experiences of love and loss, we’ve developed the advice, practices and interactive tools that you’ll be guided through in this app. Get inspiration and hope from those who have walked the path before you.

Am incredible resource

Our son died in February of this year following treatment for a rare, sudden and catastrophic syndrome. I have recently been seeing a therapist to help me navigate my grief, and this app has been an invaluable addition and aid to therapy. The course is manageable and compassionate and absolutely worth the investment. I will be renewing it after my first subscription ends so I can continue to access the many useful tools, and revisit the insightful lessons and exercises. Julia Samuel is the best of the best, and this app should be mandatory not just for those who are grieving, but for those who wish to support the grieving.

An Extremely Helpful Resource

My beloved wife helen died five weeks ago aged just 49 following a 21 month cancer battle. She was my soul mate who I loved for over twenty years. She was the best thing that ever happened to me and we had a wonderful marriage and three beautiful children aged 15, 13 and 7. Her passing shattered my world and I alternate between states of shock, numbness, depression and panic. The grief works audio book and accompanying app have supported me greatly in these past few weeks. It has helped me to process my thoughts and reassured me that I am not going mad although it can feel that way at times. For anyone struggling with grief I would highly recommend this app and the audio book. It can be far more comforting to listen to those stories rather than talk to other people. Julia has a lovely calming voice and brilliantly explains the emotional turmoil which acute grief can cause. Both the app and audio book have helped me through the nights in the past week or so.

Thank you for developing it.

Developer Response ,

Hi Nicky, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm glad to hear that you've found the Grief Works app helpful. It's great to hear that the app and Julia's audio recordings were able to provide you such comfort in a difficult time.

I wanted to ask if you intended to leave a 1 star review? If you intended to leave 1 star, we would love to hear your feedback on how the app could be improved. If not, we would really appreciate if you could edit your rating - reviews help others to find the app and experience its benefits, and we hope to be able to help others who are also experiencing grief. Either way, we are so glad that the app was able to help you on your grief journey.

Grief Work App

The Grief Works App is an essential resource for anyone endeavouring to navigate through the murky waters of grief. It is a Pandora’s box full of a wide range of resources in addition to the 28 day course that are all easily accessible. It is ‘food and drink for the soul’ to quote the Irish philosopher John O’Donohoe. I cannot recommend it highly enough best investment I have made in myself in a long time.
