This is Philip. Also known as Dad, Philipo, Pip, or Pip Pop. He is a father, a son, an uncle, a son-in-law a brother and so much more.

On the 25th of November 2019, my Dad died. Not passed away, not went to a better place, not went back to god. He F*%#ing died. At the prime age of 19, this to put in simple terms, completely flipped my world upside down.

Whilst reeling with the turbulent nature of my own grief, I discovered that there is not currently a community for young people who are going through similar things. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who had been through similar challenges but overall, I felt incredibly isolated.

It has since been my mission to change the way people talk about grief, and to build a community to support young people experiencing grief.
