We’re passionate about ensuring that men can talk about their loss.
Our 2022 survey found that 18-35 year old men (37%) were more likely than women (28%) to feel that talking to people from the same or similar backgrounds was important in easing the process of talking about death. One-fifth of men in this age group (22%) feel that talking specifically to other men about grief would help them to open up.
Liam, from Hertfordshire, said “Being a man and going through the process of grief has its own set of challenges. It adds an extra layer of judgement when it comes to opening up, and that’s something I’ve had a hard time with since day one.”
How you can get involved
We loved our first Men Talk About Loss event in 2024, and we’d love to run more. If you’d be interested in helping run in person events for male young grievers, please get in touch with us using the form at the bottom of this page.
Like Kieran in this photo, we would love to see more male Hosts at Let’s Talk About Loss, which will help encourage more men that this is a safe and empowering place to talk about loss.
Glasgow Host and LTAL volunteer Callum is passionate about starting a conversation around grief with men. He has been interviewing some grieving guys about their experience and you can watch / listen to the interviews on our YouTube channel – click the button above to view them!
