Hi r/Cardiff, I posted in here a little while ago about Too Young To Grieve and our first jog/walk & coffee meet up, and the response was really lovely.

So I thought I’d pop back on as we’re doing another one. For anyone who missed the first post, we’re basically building a community for young people navigating grief and loss, but trying to do it in a way that feels a bit more social and light through community.

The meet ups are really relaxed. You can jog, walk, do a bit of both, chat to people and then we usually grab a coffee afterwards.

It’s definitely not two hours of sitting around talking about grief. Sometimes those conversations happen naturally, but there’s no pressure to share anything. The nice thing is just knowing everyone there has that shared understanding in the background if it does come up.

Most people come alone so if you feel a bit nervy about that side please don’t be will make sure you feel welcome.

So if you saw my last Cardiff post and thought about coming but didn’t quite make it, we’d love to have you at this one.

I’ll pop the event/community details in the comments, and feel free to share this with someone locally who might benefit from it 🤍

Hi r/bristol, I know I’ve posted in here a few times now about Too Young To Grieve so don’t want to keep bombarding you with our meet ups haha but thought I’d share this one as we’re doing something a little different again on Wednesday.

We’re getting together again for a relaxed lake dip and social.

For anyone who hasn’t seen my previous posts, Too Young To Grieve is a community for young people navigating grief and loss. The whole idea is to make grief feel a little less isolating without everything having to feel heavy or like a traditional support group.

Most of our meet ups are genuinely just people getting outside, meeting others and doing something good for themselves - with that shared understanding of grief there in the background if you ever want to talk about it.

And as always, most people come alone for the first time, so please don’t let that put you off we’ll make sure you feel welcome.

If you’ve seen one of my previous Bristol posts and thought about coming along, we’d love to have you at the lake dip this Wednesday 🤍

I’ll pop the event/community details in the comments, and feel free to share this with someone who might benefit too :)

Hi everyone, I know I’ve posted in here recently about Too Young To Grieve coming to Melbourne with Zoe, so I don’t want to overdo it but the response from people here has been so lovely and I know a few people missed the previous meet up.

So just a quick one to say we’re doing another Walk, Talk & Coffee this Sunday.

It’s basically a really relaxed meet up for young people navigating grief and loss. No group therapy vibes, no pressure to tell your story and definitely no expectation that the whole walk needs to be sad or heavy.

The whole reason we started these was actually to make grief feel less lonely by creating a proper community around it through getting outside, meeting people and knowing that if grief does come up, you’re with people who understand.

Most people come alone, which is completely normal and you’d be more than welcome.

If you’ve seen one of my previous posts and thought about coming but haven’t yet, maybe this is your sign.

I’ll put the event/community details in the comments, and feel free to share it with anyone in Melbourne who might benefit 🤍

Hi everyone, I know I’ve posted in here recently about Too Young To Grieve in Milton Keynes, so I don’t want to overdo it but the response from people here has been so lovely and I know a few people missed the previous meet up.

Hi, It’s been a few weeks since our last Too Young To Grieve meet up in Nottingham, so I wanted to pop back on here as we’re getting everyone together again this weekend.

For anyone who hasn’t come across us before, we organise really relaxed walks/jogs and coffee meet ups for young people navigating grief and loss.

One thing we try really hard to do is make these meet ups feel like a normal community rather than somewhere you have to turn up and talk about grief for hours.

Sometimes grief comes up naturally, sometimes it doesn’t at all. Most of the time it’s just people walking or jogging, chatting about life, having a laugh and then grabbing a coffee afterwards with the nice bit being that everyone already has that shared understanding in the background.

All paces are welcome we really don’t want that part to put you off. And as always, most people come alone for the first time, so please don’t let not knowing anyone put you off either we’ll make sure you feel welcome.

Really looking forward to getting the Nottingham group together again this weekend.

If you know someone locally who might benefit from it, feel free to share this with them too. I’ll pop the event/community details in the comments :)

Hi r/brighton, posted in here a little while ago about Too Young To Grieve - community for young adults navigating grief - and thought I’d drop back in to let you know we’ve got another meet up coming up this weekend, led by Liz.

It’s a very slow relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after with people who genuinely get what you’re going through without it needing much explanation. Share as much or as little as feels right.

If you saw the first post but haven’t made it along yet, you’re more than welcome this month if you feel up for it.

If you’re nervous about coming alone that’s completely understandable, most people do and we’ll make sure you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

I’ll add details in the comments and feel free to share with anyone who might benefit 🤍

Hi, I posted in here a little while ago about the community we’ve been building for young people navigating grief, and wanted to share that we’re getting together again this weekend.

This time we’re doing a relaxed walk n talk along the beach with a coffee and ice cream if you fancy it!

These meet ups are all about how simple they are. There’s no agenda and no pressure to open up about anything. We just go for a walk, chat about things if we feel like it and spend a couple of hours around people who understand what it’s like to navigate grief at a younger age.

One thing we’re really passionate about is changing the way people think grief has to look.

These meet ups aren’t all about sitting in a circle talking about how sad grief is. They’re about creating a genuine community where young adults can get outside, meet good people and know they’re around others who understand if those conversations do happen naturally.

Sometimes grief comes up, sometimes it doesn’t.

Over the last few months we’ve seen so many people turn up on their own feeling nervous, only to leave having made genuine connections.

Whether you’ve lost a parent, sibling, partner, friend or someone else important, you’re very welcome.

If you’re not feeling up to talking, that’s completely okay too. Sometimes just getting outside and being around people who get it can make a real difference.

If you think someone you know might benefit from it, feel free to share this with them too. I’ll pop the event and community details in the comments too 🤍

Hi, I’ve posted in here a few times before about Too Young To Grieve, which is a community for young adults navigating grief.

This weekend we’re doing something a little different from our usual jog/walk meet ups and the community will be hiking Conic Hill together.

A nice outdoor hike with a group of people who genuinely understand grief without it needing much explanation. It’s less about talking about loss and more about just being around others who get it, moving together and enjoying a brilliant day out.

No pressure to share anything, no expectations, just good people and a nice bit of movement.

If you’re nervous about coming along on your own that’s completely understandable, most people do and then feel welcome from the moment they arrive.

I’ll drop the community details in the comments and feel free to share with anyone who might benefit 🤍

Hi r/Charlotte, I posted in here a little while ago about Too Young To Grieve - a community for young adults navigating grief - and the response was really lovely so thought I’d drop back in to let you know we’ve got another meet up coming up tomorrow.

It’s a very slow relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after with people who genuinely get what you’re going through without it needing much explanation.

No pressure at all you can share as much or as little as feels right, the main aim is to build a community with people who just get you.

If you saw the first post but didn’t make it along, this might be a good one to come to if you feel up for it.
Most people turn up alone the first time and always say they’re glad they did, so no worries if you’re nervous Ashton will make sure you feel welcome.

I’ll attach the community and details in the comments and feel free to share with anyone you feel this might benefit too 🤍

Hi r/london, it’s been a little while since I posted in here! I’m Luke and I run Too Young To Grieve which is a a community for young people who’ve experienced loss, but it’s less heavy than it sounds.

It’s really just about getting outside, moving a bit, and being around people who genuinely get what you’re going through without needing an explanation.

We’ve now moved our regular London Jog/Walk & coffee meet up to Regent’s Park to be more accessible for everyone!

It’s basically a very relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after where people tend to stick around and chat. Share as much or as little as you want, there’s no pressure on anything.

If you’re nervous that’s absolutely fine, most people come alone the first time and always say they’re glad they did.

I’ll attach our community details in the comments where people stay connected between meet ups.

Feel free to share with anyone you think it might benefit 🤍

Hi r/Cardiff — I’m Luke and I run a community called Too Young To Grieve, which some of you might have seen popping up in other city subreddits recently.

After losing my dad, one thing I struggled with most was how isolating grief can feel when everyone around you seems to be carrying on with normal life. Even when people care, it often feels like nobody truly understands what you’re carrying.

Over the last few months we’ve been building run/jog/walk clubs and coffee meet ups for young people navigating grief across the UK, and with the help of Liv we’re now bringing one to Cardiff.

It’s basically a very relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after with people who get it without needing much explanation. No pressure, all paces welcome, feel free to come alone or bring a friend if that helps.

We’ve also got a community where people stay connected between meet ups, I’ll attach the link in the comments.

If you feel like something like this could help you’re more than welcome and feel free to share with anyone else you think it might benefit 🤍

Hi r/Loughborough, thought I’d drop this in here again as we’re back this Saturday for our second Too Young To Grieve meet up.

Too Young To Grieve is a community for young people navigating grief and loss, but honestly it’s less heavy than it sounds. People come along expecting something quite serious and usually leave saying it was just a really nice morning out with good people.

A relaxed run/jog/walk at whatever pace works for you - and we mean that, all paces genuinely welcome - then a coffee after where most people end up staying and chatting for a good while.

Chelsie leads the Loughborough club and does a brilliant job of making everyone feel welcome from the moment they arrive.

Most people turn up alone for the first time and within ten minutes they’re chatting to someone who completely gets what they’re going through.

I’ll attach our community details in the comments, feel free to share with anyone who might need it 🤍

Hi r/dublin, I posted in here before about Too Young To Grieve - a community for young people navigating grief and loss - and just wanted to drop in to let you know we’ve got a meet up happening again this Sunday.

A relaxed slow jog/walk and coffee with people who understand grief without it needing much explanation. No pressure, no expectations, just a chance to get outside and be around good people.

I’ll attached our community in the comments for more details and feel free to share with anyone who might need it 🤍

Hi r/MiltonKeynes,

Thought I’d drop this in here again in case anyone missed the last one, as the response was really lovely so we’re back this weekend for our second meet up.

Too Young To Grieve is a community for young people navigating grief and loss. We run jog/walk clubs and coffee meet ups across the UK and the idea is simple - get outside, be around people who get it, and know you don’t have to explain yourself.

If you saw the first post but couldn’t make it along, this weekend is a good chance to come if you’re free.

No pressure on anything and you’re all welcome :)

Our community details are in the comments if you’re interested and feel free to share with anyone else who might benefit 🤍

Hi r/Staffordshire, I’m Luke and I run a community called Too Young To Grieve, which some of you might have seen in other city and county subreddits recently.

One thing I’ve realised over the last few years is that grief can be incredibly lonely and not just because of the loss itself, but because it often feels like nobody around you truly understands what you’re carrying. Even when people do try.

We’ve spent the last few months building jog/walk clubs and coffee meet ups for young people navigating grief across the UK.

Holly reached out wanting to bring something like this to Staffordshire and honestly it felt like a natural fit. So here we are.

We’re launching our first Staffordshire meet up - a relaxed jog/walk followed by coffee with people who understand grief without it needing much explanation.

All paces welcome, no pressure to talk about anything personal, and most people turn up on their own for the first time which is completely normal. If you’re feeling a bit nervous feel free to message us and will make sure you feel welcome.

We’ve also got a community where people stay connected between meet ups.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know might need, we’d love to see you there 🤍

Hi r/Leeds,

Posted in here a little while ago about Too Young To Grieve, a community for young people navigating grief and loss - the response was honestly lovely, so we’re back this weekend for our second meet up.

Same format as before. A relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace works for you, smaller groups naturally form as you go, then we head for a coffee after and keep chatting.

No pressure to talk about anything heavy. Most people turn up alone and within ten minutes they’re talking to someone who completely gets what they’re going through.

If you saw the first post but weren’t quite ready to come along, this weekend is a good one to try.

Ben will be leading again. Community details in the comments, and feel free to pass it on if you know someone who might find it useful 🤍

Hi everyone, I’ve posted in here before about Too Young To Grieve, the community for young people navigating grief and loss. We’ve got our next Jog, Walk & coffee meet up happening this weekend.

A Jog/walk, then a coffee after, and a chance to be around people who actually get it without having to explain yourself.

Most people turn up alone and that’s completely normal. If it’s your first time feel free to reach out and will make sure you feel welcome.

If you’ve lost someone or you’re dealing with grief in your own way, come along. No pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to.

If you know someone who might find this useful, feel free to pass it on. Our community details are in the comments too 🤍

Hi, I posted in here a couple of times before about the Too Young To Grieve walk/jog & coffee clubs we run for young people dealing with grief and loss.

With it being Father’s Day weekend, I wanted to share this weeks meet up led by the legend himself Ruaridh in case it’s useful for anyone finding this weekend a bit harder than usual.

We’re doing a walk/jog & coffee this Saturday, same as usual, just a chance to get outside and be around people who get it without having to explain anything.

No pressure to talk about anything you don’t feel like, but a space to be around a community of people who understand in the hopes of making a heavy weekend a tiny bit lighter.

If you feel like this will help in any way you’re more than welcome and if you know someone who might benefit feel free to share with them too.

I’ll add our community in the comments for more details :)

Hi, a few of you might’ve seen me post here about our run/walk & coffee meet ups for young people dealing with grief and loss.

Father’s Day is this Sunday and I know for a lot of people this weekend can be a difficult one.

After I lost my dad there were a handful of days each year I just dreaded. Father’s Day was one of the big ones. Not because I wanted to stop everyone else celebrating, just because it’s a reminder of what’s not there anymore.

I’ve realised over the last few years that loads of people feel exactly the same way but don’t really talk about it.

So this Saturday we’re doing a relaxed walk and coffee in Regent’s Park for anyone who’d rather not spend the weekend on their own with it all in their head.

No pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to. Just a walk, a coffee, optional lunch and people around you who get it without needing an explanation.

If this is a hard weekend for you, or you know someone it might help, come along. We have a community for details and where people stay in touch :)

Hi! A couple of weeks ago I posted in here about us launching Too Young To Grieve in Melbourne with Zoe and the response was genuinely lovely.

For anyone who missed it, Too Young To Grieve is a community for young people navigating grief and loss, and this weekend we’re hosting another relaxed Walk, Talk & Coffee meet up.

One thing we’ve learned from running these events is that most people arrive thinking they’ll be the only person who feels nervous. Then within ten minutes they’re chatting to someone who completely understands what they’re going through.

The idea is simple.

A relaxed walk, a coffee afterwards and a chance to connect with others who get it.

Some people come because they’ve lost a parent, sibling, partner or friend. Others are navigating grief in different ways. Some come to talk, some just want to get outside and be around good people for a couple of hours. There’s never any pressure to share anything personal.

And if you know someone who might benefit from it, feel free to share this with them. I’ll put the community details in the comments :)
