Take a Small First Step

Towards Healing

Take a Small First Step Towards Healing

Grief can feel overwhelming, and knowing where to start is often the hardest part.

That’s why we created a simple 3-minute Grief Assessment to see where you are in your grief and what support could help most.

When you finish, you’ll receive Julia’s guided First Step to Healing meditation, which many describe as the moment they first felt some relief.

Outstretched hand reaching toward warm light, evoking a gentle, hopeful first step.

Lifesaver
“Grief Works has been truly life changing. The app helped me feel deeply connected to my wife, who died 5 months ago. It has allowed me to appreciate both the bright moment as the moments of sadness. I’ve gone from floundering in despair to feeling more like myself.”
Emma
Support at whatever stage you are in your journey
“This app has the potential to change your grief journey into a reflective, supportive and more positive experience, at a time when you might be feeling lost, alone and fearful of your future. Highly recommend.”
Ben
Like a good friend
“It’s been like having a good friend with me each day who understands more than anyone else the despair and loneliness of grief. I wish I’d found this earlier.”
Pete
Great app
A really powerful tool which is supporting me to move through one of the toughest periods in my life.
Harry
Unravels the complexities
This app has done so much to help me unravel the complexities of my grief. Three heavy years of being stuck but after only 10 days I feel lighter and calmer. I’m so glad I found it.
Hanna
Helpful for anyone grieving
This app is a wonderful resource for anyone who is trying to cope with the death of a loved one and is feeling lost in a new and unwelcome new world. It feels remarkably personal and nurturing.
