Orla is a 28 year old teacher who loves sea swimming, sunshine runs and chats by a log burner- preferably in that order! Having lost her Dad at the age of 17 she recognises that grieving as a young person can be lonely. Training and experiences from teaching at secondary level have emphasized to her the importance of developing and sustaining emotional resilience and well being. She is grateful for the space LTAL provides to share stories about navigating life after loss.
Amy is a 32 year old youth worker whose favourite things are playing squash, anything crafty (current obsession: upcycling Facebook marketplace finds!) reading and walks with with her greyhound, Hollie. She was 21 when she experienced the sudden loss of her Mum. Amy is passionate about the power of honest, open conversation and grateful that LTAL makes space for the experiences of all young grievers.
How will I know where you are?
Our meet up Hosts will be wearing white t-shirts with Let’s Talk About Loss written on them, so you can spot us in a crowd!
Will everyone be sad?
Definitely not. Although we’ve all been bereaved, we aim to have lots of fun at meet ups and chat about lots of things, not just grief. You won’t be asked or expected to share your grief story unless you want to.
What will we do?
Most of our meet ups are activity based, so we are doing something and not just sitting around chatting. We hope you’ll have lots of fun!
How do I sign up?
You don’t need to tell us you’re coming along – feel free to just turn up! If you want to chat to someone before coming along, email us using the form on this page, and we can always meet you beforehand.
