YOUNG ADULT Good Grief.
What is it?
Young Adult Good Grief is a peer to peer support meeting for bereaved adults aged 18-35yrs, no matter who you have lost,
how long ago, or how you have dealt with your grief so far.
We know that grieving as a young adult comes with its own unique challenges, but we also believe in the power of community and conversation.
This is a non-judgemental and inclusive space to come together with others who can understand and acknowledge the nuances of their grief.
This is a collaborative space between TNN and The Student Grief Network, an organisation softening the impact of loss and grief in universities.
Virtual Meetings:
Zoom UK
Twice a month
Monday 7pm & Wednesday 7pm (UK)

Why did it start?
Young Adult Good Grief is a collaborative space between The New Normal and The Student Grief Network.
Evolved from our original Student Good Grief meeting, this meeting now welcomes all adults (18-35) who have been bereaved, whether or not they are currently in further education.
We know that grieving as a young adult comes with its own unique challenges, as grief becomes interwoven into every stage of your life and development.
Some of these may include, but are not limited to, things like: moving away from home, finding your identity, becoming independent, attending college or university, dating and break-ups, marriage, having or trying for children, own medical issues, life goals, career progression, further bereavements, and loss of emotional, practical and financial support.
Young Adult Good Grief is here to bring people together who get it, so we can share, listen and support one another.
“We know that grief can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially as a young person. We might technically be 'adults' but often we're still figuring out who we are and how to navigate the adult world. Loss can shake us up and make us question everything at a time that already feels a bit unstable and insecure.
It can feel particularly unfair to be dealing with a loss when you are young, and often the people around us don't understand, or don't know how to talk about it.”
Anna, Host of Young Adult Good Grief
What to expect?
The meetings were created to give space to openly discuss experiences of grief in an empathetic environment, in the knowledge that they are shared with others who can relate.
