Since the recent loss of my mother, I've been feeling lost and pretty alone in the world. I'd never been to any type of group counseling session before, but I wondered if it could help me feel less stagnated in my grieving process to talk with people going through similar things. After some internet browsing, I decided MyGriefAngels would be the first group I would try. The session just ended about five minutes ago, and I honestly feel like I just shed 500 lbs. I'm so grateful to the moderator and especially grateful to everyone for sharing their experiences and emotional journies. I fully plan to attend again, probably many times. Thank you to everyone who shares their heart with the rest of us.
After a loved one's death, My Grief Angels has been the best community I've found for support through my grief journey. Forever grateful for the team at My Grief Angels for creative a beautiful, helpful, comfortable space for fellow grieving folks!
My mother had bladder cancer and died in August 2023. It was devastating that they had not diagnosed her until she was in the fourth stage of the disease. She would have had a chance to survive. I was shocked and miss her daily. It's a struggle still to work through the pain of losing her and moving on with my life! I am facing the pain and trying to keep her memory alive at the same time. There are good days and bad days, but I'm grateful for the volunteers at Griefangels.com because these meetings helped me continue, even with the pain, and live my life after losing my best friend!
I came to this group two weeks after losing my mother in June of 2024. After my very first meeting, the guilt and isolation I had been feeling began to lift. Many people shared the same things and understood exactly how I was feeling. I make it a point to attend the meetings as consistently as possible. Even listening to others' stories helps me in my journey. I think my grief journey would be much worse without My Grief Angels. Our facilitator, Agosto, is compassionate and empathetic and allows people to take their time during one of the most traumatic times of our lives.
I came to this group maybe about a year ago. A friend of mine saw that I need a group and went on google and found it and suggested I join. He said it would be good for me to listen and see I was not alone in my new life. Well, I am very grateful to him for finding My Grief Angels family for me. I look forward to joining a meeting every Wednesday to be able to talk to listen to cry and to laugh with my earth angel family. To share my story about my loving son Joshua, who passed away almost 11 years ago by a car hitting him and killing him instantly. Joshua was only 20 years old. Since I have been coming to My Grief Angels meeting, I am able to speak his name talk about him and cry without feeling like I am going to make someone sad or feel like I have to stop before I make someone cry. I am able to let my heart out and not be judged. I love how My Grief Angels has helped me through this journey. I will be coming back every week. I have added a picture of Joshua. Thank you, My Grief Angels Family,
This is a wonderful support for those going through powerful loss from the deaths of loved ones. Due to multiple losses of loved ones; my mother, my husband, and most recently a beloved family pet, I was bereft with no place to turn. I found My Grief Angels, Inc. - MyGriefAngles.org which is been a lifesaver. To learn how there are so many others in grief sharing some of the same experiences and feelings as me has been validating and given me hope that healing will happen and while life will never be the same, life will continue. Our moderator, Augusto is excellent and the group has been welcoming and supportive. This is an extremely valuable nonprofit.
My Grief Angels is wonderful. Grieving the loss of my husband has been the toughest thing I ever had to go through. But being able to tell my story to other who understand because they are going through the same grief of losing a spouse has been so helpful. Thank you for being there.
The My Grief Angels support groups and chat boards have been more helpful to me than anything else since the worst day of my life happened almost 6 months ago. I don’t know where I would be without them.
This site has been a true blessing in my life in my time of great need. Wonderful moderator and great discussions about our grief.
So far has been an amazing community where I don’t feel as alone with my pain, sadness or problems.
10 years had passed and I thought I was one of a the few that “couldn’t get over it” but others felt the same way.
I’ve been learning that grief can stay with you forever, but meeting other people with similar experiences helps. I am grateful for this community.
This organization has been a life line of support and strength since my 32 yr old son was murdered in 2021. If not for the support of the online meetings and amazing people and the amount of resources they provide freely, I honestly can say I don't know that I would have been able to go on.

MyGrief Angels has been the light in my darkness since my best friend, confidant, my road-dog, my 32 yr old son was killed. This organization has truly been a lifeline. I attend the Wed soom meeting and Augusto, the moderator, is phenominal! Along with his compassion and care, he has a calming voice and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed, even adding some humor when situation arises. Ive met some beautiful folks and made some special connections with sme other folks who are going through the same/similar things and we can share & relate to one another. There are good days, bad days and then there are Wednesdays. The site has a massive amount of information/resources/support/assistance/etc. This organization is one of the most , if not THE MOST important organizations I've found and has been the most significant resources to heal my broken soul. Words cant express how important My Grief Angels has been to my life.
This is a nice support system. You are able to choose a multitude of support rooms based upon your need. When you are in the support rooms, they really listen without judgement to create space to allow you to share your story.
Augusto and MyGriefAngels is absolutely amazing. He's knowledgeable and always leaves you with a little snippet. He always has a tale of wisdom where you feel like you were heard and you take away something from each group. I truly don't think I would be doing as "well" without the members from My Grief Angels and especially from Augusto's group.
So very helpful in offering grief services online after losing my son. Going out of the house is hard enough for work, having these sessions online is nice alternative for that. Additionally, the weekly sessions to be with other people who understand the pain is healing.
This group has been very instrumental in my Grief process since loosing my husband last year. After friends , family, and coworkers fade on support after a few months, the survivor is left largely to themselves , still processing grief but alone. This group allows a survivor to hear other grievers' stories , so you don't feel alone in grief and you also hear about what has worked for others going through a similar experience. All people grief differently, but thanks to My Grief Angels, we don't have to grieve alone. - Jenni

It has been a difficult couple of years with the isolation caused by COVID19 pandemic and the death of my brothers in 2019 and 2022 and my father in 2020. In addition to my mother dementia diagnosis. I am not able to leave her alone. Working and being a caregiver takes its tool. I had this one friend that kept encouraging me to attend a support group. I kept saying I do not have the time. She told me to find something on line. I am glad I did. The peer support grieving group has been a life saver. I am able to talk about my grief and share the difficulties I am having in an open supportive environment. I think I cried during the first meeting I attended. I have being taking care of others and did not allow myself to grieve. I did not even notice. That hour is about me navigating my grief knowing that i am not alone. Helping and listing to other also helps me. So I Thank you....Thank you... My Grief Angels Wed 7pm group!!!
My name is La-Tonya and I lost my only son, 24, April 22, 2022. I heard of this organization to appear, and have never missed a session. This organization exemplifies the highest professionalism hosted by Augusto, and I am grateful that it exist. It is comforting to know that I am not alone, and that this organization promotes supportive initiatives. I would even welcome the opportunity to become a volunteer. I am grateful for MyGrief Angels- it has become my strongest support system.
MyGriefAngels has been a God send. I joined the online grief support group last year after both of my parents passed away. It gives me a safe space where people understand me, and accept me. I look forward to Wednesday nights.
The day my mom died I had absolutely no one to talk to, nor since then. Griefs Angels was there when no one was. It is an incredible source of support for anyone anywhere in the world experiencing grief. What I have witnessed is all encompassing love and acceptance. Everyone shows up raw and vulnerable. I felt comfortable telling total strangers thing so never thought I would share with anyone. The world is a better place because of them.
I really appreciate these grief groups, as none are available in my area in person. I do not know how I would’ve gotten through the first few months after my mother’s death without this space. You’re also not pressured to share when you’re not ready. It’s very accepting and very respectful of everyone’s experiences.
The perfect resource at a most difficult time. Not feeling isolated, not feeling alone, sharing with others at a similar time in our lives. Thank you.
This organization has helped me so much in my grieving of my husband. I was fortunate that a friend of mine told me about the group. The peer moderator is great and being able to express my feelings for the past year has been priceless, as I do not feel comfortable doing it with others who do not want to hear about it anymore, or it makes them uncomfortable when I talk about it.
My therapist suggested a grief support group to me and I was apprehensive at first. This group was and continues to be exactly what I need while grieving the loss of my grandfather. It is comforting to have people that understand what you are going through and affirm it as well. At first I was not able to release emotions with the loss of my grandfather, but each call I join softens me up even more and shows me that these feelings are completely normal. I also love how diverse the group is-- in thought, ethnicity, age, location, experience and much more. It truly is a non-judgment zone and really gives you hope that there are still good people in this world.
This group is wonderful! I am so grateful to have Antonio be the leader of this group. He is s knowledgeable, giving and helpful and always reliable. I'll keep coming back and telling people about this group. I am so grateful to My Grief Angels!
I'm so glad I found this group. Augusto is a great facilitator, and everyone is so supportive. It helps to listen and share with people who are going through the same experience.
It was amazing to be able to relate to others and see that you are not the only one going through certain things and emotions. People were so welcoming and understanding. Will definitely return.
I feel very grateful to be part of such a caring support group while grieving the devastating loss of my mother this year. The shared experiences with my peers and the group leader's insight provide guidance that is crucial to the healing process. I know they will help me to bridge the difficult next phase of my life without my most treasured loved one. ~ Toni Shelton
I lost my grandmother to covid and this group has given me the resources attention and help to understand what I'm going through and letting me know that I'm not alone and that we all are human and we feel the same way
Truly Angels,
The My Grief Angels support group is amazing. I look forward to group each and every week. It’s wonderful to be surrounded by a community that understands me. My Grief Angels is second to none with grief resource access.

My Grief Angels is a vital part of my grieving process. The group leaders and participants began as strangers but now are more like family. Each week I look forward to seeing and hearing from everyone. This year an APP was created to further address my grieving needs. The APP allows participants to connect with others 24/7 365. It also provides an area to journal and more. Thank you My Grief Angels!
My dad passed away in Feb. 2021. I struggled for months with his loss and even getting on depressive medication wasn't enough. I couldn't afford therapy and still cannot. I frantically begun searching for help online to see if there was any alternatives that didn't cost money necessarily. I was blown away how much the grief groups I've been apart of have changed my life. I love how I don't have a obligation to go every time there is a meeting, and I may leave even during a meeting with no repercussions or judgements. My mom who has no social life due to disability has even joined, and has found solace in the weekly group she attends since losing my dad. Thanks to Augusto and other volunteers who help cohost (who are also random members who have lost loved ones), you have helped me find strength and insight that I am not alone in my daily grief.
I have been with this group for 62 weeks now. It is like going to meet family every Wednesday night. Keep up the good work.

Excellent place for an open forum not requiring weekly attendance. Leader/host gets everyone involved as much as they want to participate. I am almost three years in this journey of grief and over a year with MyGriefAngels.org. Highly recommended for anyone who is grieving the death of a spouse.
My Grief Angels has been a tremendous help for me dealing with the pain of losing my grandmother in December of 2021. I have connected with so many people who are dealing with similar losses and been able to share my process with others who might be experienceing loss for the first time. I feel that sharing our stories with one another helps to lessen our individual pain. And everyone in the group is very supportive and understanding of whatever feelings you are experiencing. It's an open group so you can be away for months and when you come back you are welcomed back with open arms as if you never left. We might all be from different parts of the world, but all of us are a family and there for each other through the good and the bad times
I decided to try this group for the first time, and loved the support everyone was offering. I was able to release some pent up emotions, which was very cathartic as well. It was good to be seen and validated for what I was going through, and to be able to relate to others as well. It made me feel more connected and less alone. I really appreciate it, thank you!!
This was my first time sitting in with this group and it was AMAZING!! I was so nervous but quickly put at ease by the moderator and the entire group! To have lost my fiance so suddenly and it to have shattered mine and my daughter's life, it's been hard. I've spent so much time focused on her and now I'm at the point where I need to do something for me and this was it. The amount of love, support, helpful hints, compassion, and moments of "Ah hah! Someone else feels that too!" was priceless. Definitely coming back again!!
Hi - My name is Chelsea Kerr and I attended my first meeting today. And it was a wonderful experience. I feel so much more positive and at ease than I was before the meeting began.
I appreciate everyone who attended and my heart goes out to everyone who shared their stories. I felt such a connection with everyone and it was such a fulfilling feeling.
I am so excited to join the next one and any future meeting.
Again, thank you all so much for inviting me into the meeting. Allowing not only myself, but my best friend share our stories.
This is a wonderful group with such amazing people.
I’m so grateful to have met you all and to have been apart of this wonderful group.
This has changed my night completely, in a positive way. So thank you, again.
Below I will post a photo of myself and my (pretty much) Husband, Giuseppe “Joey” Perna. 05•17•89-12•16•21. Also a photo of me with his ashes with the little ceremony my best friend and I had for him in one of mine and Joey’s favorite spots to go to. And then, also a photo of my Joey, our wonderful 8yr old boy and myself on Halloween last year.
Joey, my heart, my soul, my everything - You’ll forever be unconditionally loved by me and our son and so incredibly missed, each & every day. Rest in the sweetest peace, my one and only true love! ❤️
My Grief Angels have literally been angels to me. Joining their group is very comforting and I feel like "they get it". It helps me feel like I am not alone and I am learning immensely from the group. After my loss it has been hard to feel like I bond with others, but on my grief angels we "speak the same language" and we're walking through it together.
I highly recommend this group for anyone that is going though grieving a loved one!
Saved my life some days. I have been so sad and this group understands that. Kindness, compassion, understanding. Have to say it, priceless. Thank you.
Very good, informal group chat where different aspects of grieving are openly discussed. The moderator keeps discussion moving and encourages participation but does not dominate. Recommend for anybody looking for similar shared experiences.
I lost my mom and it's been the hardest thing I've had to deal with, but through this amazing group I've been able to not have to grieve alone. I've met so many people that are on a very similar grief journey and we help each other out. This group has helped me to not grieve alone and to find words to my feelings and emotions that overwhelm at time. Thank you so much.
I've only had one grief support virtual meeting with My Grief Angels. But my experience was wonderful. Augusto is a great leader of the group and all of the participants were very supportive. I will be back for future meetings.
I go to this online every single week. Augusto is amazing. It is a safe place to cry and tell your story. Grieving would not be the same without it.
My Grief Angels has become an anchor point in my grieving process and I am thankful for the group and the people who join. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a very unique experience for everyone and this group helps people realize they are normal and shows the participants how to give grace to self. It has been a gift to me.
My Grief Angels has played a critical role in helping me grieve the loss of my beloved mother. I've met wonderfully supportive people that I look forward to speaking with every week. This organization has had a significant positive impact on my life.
It was a wonderful resource to find during my time of need. I've never experienced grief (let alone had to overcome it). It gave me lots of information and ways to seek support. Thank you.
I just lost my mom/ best friend. held her hand while she begged me to help her breathe better. I had to watch her gasp for air and it was torture for me and my On.
I loss my dad a day before his birthday this year (2021). I found My Grief Angels while crying on google and I've been so thankful every since. I joined my first call just two days after my father's transition and I've been on weekly every since. I don't know what I've done during this time but the support in this group is so warm and helpful. I look forward to the meetings every week and I'm forever grateful for the creator of this platform, the volunteers, and the honest souls who come so we can exhale together, laugh sometimes, and journey through life together. I'm forever grateful for you all!
I have really learned a lot from Augusto and the group as I've been grieving the loss of my Dad. The members and Augusto are very kind, supportive, and insightful. I highly recommend it!
attended their free coronavirus virtual support group and it was a big help at a time i desperately needed it
just wanted to learn how others have gotten through grief. The online information provided by them was very good.
the directory of grief support services by the type of loss we suffered that is provided by this group was very handy in finding help for my wife
mom died 2 years ago but still dealing with a lot of painful grief. still seeing a grief counselor at college but the resources and online course on this group site was very good
Retired and help group with creation and organization of content. Excellent resource for people grieving regarding of income. Free to use at all times
I volunteer with this group to answer questions and provide additional information or resources to people writing in. Found them because i needed the info myself and thought i could do something to help others.
Best friend died and noone tells you what to do n how to get thru this huge loss unless you pay them a lot of doe. don't have the money and this site was free to use. info provided helped me lots
Grieving and lost but this site provided good resources and information that helped me understand more of what we are going thru.
This website is an incredibly helpful resource for whenever I'm having a not so great day. Thank you to all the administrators and other people involved for giving me the help I need when I am feeling down.
Very useful and practical information on how grief can impact our health and the personal stories of how others are coping with their grief attacks. Very helpful.
Found 'My Grief Angles' a great help for getting some understanding to get through the loss of a love one. Wonderful resources.
I've read the stories & I think it's been an incredible help assisting me with the death of my brother, my father & other loved ones that left us way too soon! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Gelcy C. Capote

My life changed (completely you would say) after my father passed away. My Grief Angels has been an invaluable tool to help me through the process. All of us go through "grief" in different ways. Reading the stories about those who have lost a loved one, their personal experience, just helped me continue my journey in life without my father. I know I'm not alone. Thank you.
I was thousands of miles away from my family and had to grieve her death on my own. Found the online information and directory of resources offered by this group by chance thru online search and found them very useful.
Was in shock after facing unexpected death, and my grief attacks were intense. These folks had great information and educational resources on grief and how grief can have impact on our health plus shared stories by others grieving. Very helpful for me and my family during one of the worst times of our lives.
Great list of resources on their directory. I also appreciated the My Grief Angels mobile app with all the available support groups button.
Very helpful online resources available 24/7 and very much appreciated their free mobile app "grief support network" angels' wall feature and the shared personal grief attacks coping strategies by other users.
This site was very helpful and easy to navigate when searching for support resources. Very well researched with a lot of information.
The site was a great help for finding resources and information. Very helpful organization and the web site was easy to navigate.
I was looking on the internet for grief support resources to help a friend and was very lucky to find the My Grief Angels directory. Great list of support resources for different types of grief related topics. Very useful site.
Great site with loads of information. The site really helped me to find the information for support I needed. Thank you My Grief Angels.
What a great resource for people looking for help. This nonprofit is making a real difference by providing much needed help and information for those in need of support through their grief.
My Grief Angels is a great resource for people like me looking for help with grief. Their grief support network app is a wonderful idea that helps people support each other. Thank you My Grief Angels.
A friend told me about the site. It's a great resource. I loved the personal stories. The site offers people like me information and comfort. I they they expand their site.
My Grief Angels has been a great means of information. Losing a loved one is the most devastating thing we can go through and during the grief we feel totally alone, but knowing that others have gone through the same grief and loss and seeing how they where able to continue it's a great help. I've shared My Grief Angels with others who have lost loved ones recently and are in the midst of their grief.
Thank you My Grief Angel!
My Grief Angels- Has provided me an avenue to put into words my feelings. It also gave me the opportunity to read others experiences and learn from them. I have taken away some coping skills that help validate my feelings and let me know I am not alone on this journey.
I lost both of my parents to cancer and it was very difficult dealing with the emptiness it left inside me not having them there. Unless you have experienced this you think you are alone and no one understands the pain you go through. Reading other peoples experiences through My Grief Angels made me realize that there are others who have or are going through the same experience. It really has helped me with my grief and continues to help when I feel empty inside. It is like there are angels that are out there to keep me lifted for my sanity. This truly has been a blessing not just for me but many others.

Losing my beloved aunt, like losing any loved one, was not easy. My Grief Angels is exactly that - an Angel. The grief process is not an easy one to overcome but the support My Grief Angels provides (knowing I'm not alone in my pain) is more than I could ask for.
Angels come in many ways. This site was an angel to me and my family. A year and a half ago we experienced a tragedy my brother in law committed suicide leaving behind my sister and his two teen age children. This affected all of us in many ways. I found this site and thru this I was able not only to find help by reading of others and how they coped with this tragedy but also resources they used.
My nephew and niece 18 and 20 years old found great stories to help them relate. They also realized that there are so many others that have gone thru the same and how they felt.
This came at a time when it was the darkest and saddest of their lives.
Today they both have graduated from High School. My nephew is in his second year of college and my niece starts USF this summer.
Thank you for providing this web site to relate and help heal!

Great information resource for a topic that doesn't seem to have a ton of support online. Much like any one else reading this review, I didn't know I was going to be googl'ing about grief and dealing with a death in the family until I really needed information. Thankfully I found mygriefangels in the search results.
I am so glad I found my grief angels. I love the resources they provide and the fact that they make me feel that I'm not alone in what I am feeling. I hope they expand their site so they can help more prople like myself. If you are looking for answers this organization is great start.
Great online directory and resource for individuals and families going through some of the worst times in their lives. Non-invasive, but extremely informative with timely information on how Grief can impact our health, and how others are coping with their own grief attacks. We need more "Free" online grief support services like these for families Grieving.
Excellent online resource of information and available resources on a topic we all will face, and few of us know much about.

I think it's wonderful to find a site like my grief angels. It lets people know they are not alone in dealing with the loss of a loved one. There is hope and support for everyone.
Having recently lost my mother I found it difficult to find the right resources online.
It's been amazing to have a site with plenty of information and resources to help me with my various stages of grief.
I shared some of my own grief attacks and signs from above stories here to help others. Very helpful online service. I could not get myself to get to an on the ground center and this online grief community by and for people grieving has been great.
Great group with single objective of helping others grieving like themselves. They have and continue to do their homework in key areas of the grieving process as people who are grieving themselves.
They have been a wonderful find online. Our family has gone thru a lot and the information provided here has helped us. The very personal shared grief attacks stories and how others are coping with these was a welcome relief for us. Each of us grieves differently but being able to read short stories about others' surviving grief experiences is great and appreciated. Did not find anything like this anywhere online.
Site is from the heart and from people grieving for others grieving. It was created because the information provided on the site from grief attacks to grief and our health to the online directory of grief support resources by type of loss was not easily available online.
I need to get past my grieving and their suggestions for putting grief into motion were very helpful. I had not thought about online classes or meetup groups with other folks grieving and followed up on both.
Their www.Twitter.com/MyGriefAngels project on highlighting people turning their grief into something positive is inspiring and a wonderful part of my daily reads. Seeing how others have been able to move forward by doing good is helping me see how I may be able to move past this pain.
I was grieving and the last thing I could do was spend time researching on where to go for some guidance on what this painful experience was about. A friend recommended this site and it was simple to read and find useful information. Their grief attacks section where others had shared their own experiences was the most helpful for me.
