Grief Works: Self Care & Love

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.

This app has been a balm for my grieving spirit. The sessions are informative and helpful.

Using this app has given me a structure for the day as well as insight into my feelings and techniques I can use to deal with my grief. I highly recommend.
