App users can now access Illume live meditations, journaling sessions, and live meet-ups to help members connect with each other whilst navigating their unique journeys through grief. Each month, there are also two live group grief support sessions with Julia Samuel MBE, renowned grief psychotherapist and Vice President of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
