WHO ARE WE?
It’s Time is built by a passionate team who have all experienced the painful grief of losing a parent. We have all experienced something similar, yet our stories are all so unique. It’s Time exists to support young adults who have experienced the loss of a parent, as well as helping their family, friends, and places of work or study support them better.
WHY IT’S TIME?
1 in 7 people will lose a parent by the age of 30.
We built I’ts Time based on our lived experience of losing one or both parents as a young adult. We understand that losing a parent young is a life changing experience that comes with a unique set of challenges.
Whether it’s university, having children, changes in your career or friendships, there are so many changes happening when you’re a young adult, and combining this with the loss of a parent can be extremely difficult. You’re often the first one in your circle to go through this kind of loss, which can leave you feeling isolated in your grief. Support groups tend to focus on other age groups and it can be hard to find community, which is why we started It’s Time.
OUR CORE VALUE
Every young adult who loses a parent deserves to feel supported.
