Georgie’s story

In December 2019, my beloved Dad passed away on my 20th birthday.

Navigating your 20’s is hard at the best of times, but losing a parent on the day you turn 20 and having to deal with the grief and trauma that brings, has been challenging beyond words.

In the 5 years since losing my Dad, I have learnt so much about grief; how devastating it is and how it impacts every aspect of your life.

Losing a parent at a young age presents unique challenges that only those who have been through the same can fully understand. As a 20 year old, I was at University and the first in my circle of friends to have lost a parent. I felt extremely lost and alone in my grief for a long time. This is why charities like it’s time are so vital.
