Making the world a better place for young adults who’ve experienced the loss of one parent or both parents

20/08/2026

1 in 7 people will lose a parent by the age of 30 💭

We built It’s Time based on our lived experience of losing one or both parents as a young adult. We understand that losing a parent young is a life-changing experience that comes with a unique set of challenges.

Whether it’s university, having children, changes in your career or friendships, there are so many changes happening when you’re a young adult, and combining this with the loss of a parent can be extremely difficult. You’re often the first one in your circle to go through this kind of loss, which can leave you feeling isolated in your grief. Support groups tend to focus on other age groups and it can be hard to find community, which is why we started It’s Time.

How can you help a friend who’s grieving? When someone loses a parent, it can be hard to know what to say or do. You don’t need to have the perfect words, sometimes, simply being there can mean everything.

Listen without trying to fix things. Check in, even when you’re not sure what to say. Offer practical support. And remember that grief doesn’t have a timeline.

If you’re supporting a friend who has lost one or both parents, our Practical Help Guide on our website has a full section dedicated to how to help a friend, with practical advice and guidance to help you feel more confident in being there for them.

Today we’re sharing Sam’s story about losing both of his parents suddenly at 21 💭

While finishing his final year at university, Sam’s mum and dad were involved in a road traffic collision while driving home from the airport. Sam writes honestly about the shock of sudden loss, the responsibility he took on in the aftermath, and returning to university while navigating a life he never expected to have.

Sam also shares what grief has taught him about resilience, support and how differently two people can experience the loss of the same loved ones.

This month, our Book Club is reading The Tidal Year, and one of our volunteers, Katie, wrote a beautiful blog post inspired by a quote from the book 💭

Katie reflects on the complicated reality of grief:
“‘Feeling better’ doesn’t mean moving on, and it certainly doesn’t mean you love them any less. You are learning to live without their presence, and naturally things that once felt unbearable will one day become easier. That’s not to say that the intensity is gone. There are still days where my grief feels just as intense as it did the day my dad died. The difference lies in my familiarity with the feeling and my ability to sit with those emotions rather than run away from them.”

It can be easy to feel guilty when moments of joy return, to think you should be sad all the time, or to wonder if feeling better is even possible. Katie's post explores these feelings with honesty and compassion, reminding us that healing and grief can exist side by side.

Today we’re sharing Nat’s post all about his complicated feelings towards the World Cup 💭

After losing his mum around the same time as the Euros, football became closely tied to a period of intense grief. Two years on, the 2026 World Cup brought those feelings back in ways Nat didn’t expect.

In this honest post, Nat explores grief, loneliness and the strange feeling of experiencing something completely differently from everyone around you.

He reflects on how grief can change the things we once loved, how anniversaries and memories can be triggered in unexpected ways, and what it means to navigate those feelings while life continues around you.

Anger is a natural and valid part of grief, even if it feels uncomfortable or brings up feelings of guilt or shame. You're not grieving "wrong" because you're angry.

In this post, our volunteer Katie shares her thoughts on why anger is such a common part of the grieving process, and why it's okay to make space for it.

We hope it reminds anyone struggling with these feelings that they are not alone. You can read the full post on our blog, click the link in our bio 💭

One word came up again and again when we asked, "What does the It's Time community mean to you?" Safe. A safe space to talk honestly about grief. A place where you don't have to explain your feelings. Somewhere to be understood, supported, and reminded that you're not alone.

In this post, we're sharing some of your responses, honest reflections that capture what this community means to the people who are part of it.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your experiences. Together, we're creating a space where every story matters, every emotion is welcome, and no one has to face grief alone 💙
