The study invites bereaved adults to participate in a program involving guided therapy over three months, delivered via secure messaging and video calls. Currently, the app is intended exclusively for participants of this study aged 18 years and older. If you would like to learn more about this study please visit – https://grief.web.ox.ac.uk/home
