First off, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've heard good things about Insight Timer and Ten Percent Happier. In addition, I tried out the free version of Calm but didn't find it that accessible with VoiceOver. That was about 4 years ago so things have probably improved. Hth and good luck. Once again I'm so sorry for your loss. She will be deeply missed.
What about Finch? I know it has its quirks. But, it might be a good idea. Also, I'd look on your music/streaming apps and see if there's any podcasts on depression, grief, etc. I'm so sorry for your loss.
first off, I am so so so sorry for your loss. an App I use which helps me calm down is Naturespace. it is free, but has some in-ap pirchases to make use of it. the best bank for your buck is the complete collection. I got it on sail do to the pendemic for 12.99 canadian down from $50.00 canadian. there are lots of books on Apple Books on grief which may help you. when I grieve, a book which helps is On Grief and greeving by Elizabeth Cooper Ross. it discusses the five stages of grief in great detail. another is Anxiety, the missing stage of grief. still another is the grief recovery workbook. good luck, and hope those will help your natueal emotions and feelings flow. cry as often and long as nessessary. it releases feelings and makes you feel better overall. tell siri to open Books, and go to the tab called search at the bottom.
Finding out you so sadly lost your mum keeps coming back to me again and again this evening. I remember you e-mailed me a while ago about something unrelated and I can’t help thinking you might have needed someone to talk to. If you have everyone you need and are doing as well as you can considering whats happened then please accept my deepest thoughts and condolences but if you could do with someone to speak to then you have my e-mail address. If you need anything at all. Just someone to speak to or something else, just send me a e-mail any time at all. You can also iMessage or FaceTime audio me on andylanesemail@gmail.com The same address. You must be going through so much these last few weeks. If I can help in any way, just get in touch.
Take care of yourself. Stay close to whoever is caring for you. The comment above is so true. Cry when you need to and remember you have a community of friends here.
No matter if it's an app or a person you just cry with, do what makes you feel as better as you can. As posted on another thread, I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have lost your Mom so soon. i hate being a member of this club, you are far to young to be in it. I know i can be a bit annoyed with you but I'm sorry if I ever honestly offended you. If you need anything contact me off site.
Words mean little at a time like this but, for what it is worth, I'm very sorry to hear this devastating news.
Regarding an app for calming and for managing grief, I'd recommend headspace. It's a meditation app that covers all of the more difficult aspects of life, anxiety, depression, grief... It is paid, but I'd say the content is good and they've worked hard to make it accessible. They even have audio described videos if you turn them on in the accessibility menu in settings.
I know this is beyond the remit of either your request or this forum, but I'm a big advocate for counselling, so much so I plan to train next year. there is nothing as good as having someone to listen and help guide you through these rough waters. I believe at such times we need to connect with people, not apps, though apps can certainly help in their way. I know there are such apps as better help that connect you with a councillor however, from my admittedly brief experience on there, it doesn't give the user enough investment to continue. The more traditional weekly counselling with a professional over the phone or, even better, in person, will be far more beneficial.

My Noise
My noise is great for calming/relaxing sounds/streams of noise. I find it quite useful for getting to sleep sometimes.
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss.
my condolences, and an app which is very calming
hello,
first off, I am so so so sorry for your loss. an App I use which helps me calm down is Naturespace. it is free, but has some in-ap pirchases to make use of it. the best bank for your buck is the complete collection.

Gieve how you need too
