Helped me through rough times
Pretty good resources for support and guidance. Helped me go through times where I had no idea what to do and how to deal with life.
Empathy is wonderful. It has so many answers to questions I had, all written down in short, simple and clear language. I'm highly impressed, and very grateful to have empathy with me in this journey. Thank you to the team.
This app has helped me a lot when I lost my husband due to COVID-19. At a time like that it's hard enough to think let alone remember everything that needs to be done after a loved one passes.
Great Guide during a Difficult Time
I suddenly lost my father and empathy has tremendously helped me figure out all of the steps needed to move through the estate process.
