The invisible loss

Young male grief and why we're getting it wrong.

An honest look at how young men experience grief, why so much can go unsaid, and how we can make it easier to talk, connect and ask for support.

Men, mental health and the courage to show up

Our story

It started with losing my dad at 21.

Luke started Too Young To Grieve after losing his dad in his final year of university, and struggling to find anyone his own age who understood what he was going through.

What started from one experience has grown into a community determined to make grief more visible and make sure young people don't have to navigate it alone.

We don't have to move on. We can move with grief.

A quick note about support

Too Young To Grieve is a peer community, not a therapy or counselling service.

We create spaces for connection, conversation and shared experience, but we're not a replacement for professional mental health, bereavement or crisis support.

If you're looking for additional or professional support, we've put together organisations and services that may be able to help.

Help us make grief visible.
