From the 15th June to 17th July, our Let’s Talk Bereavement Campaign shines a light on men’s experiences of grief following the sudden loss of a child or young adult. Through powerful and honest stories of courageous men, we aim to reach others who may be grieving in silence and help them find the support they need and deserve.
We also want to educate the wider public, helping friends, families, and communities better understand grieving and support men.
Don't Suffer in Silence
Grief doesn’t come with a handbook. But you don’t have to go through it on your own. Talking to someone, whether a friend, a support group or a professional, can make a real difference.
2wish was created to support anyone affected by the sudden loss of a child or young person, aged 25 and under. No matter what your relationship to the one you’ve lost is, you are entitled to support.
We have a dedicated support team available to help you navigate your grief in a way that is unique to your bereavement journey.
If you, or someone you know, could benefit from the support of 2wish, then please get in touch with us.
Show your support by wearing our merch with pride.
It’s more than just a t-shirt or a pin badge. Every item purchased helps to raise awareness around men’s bereavement, as well as funding vital support for those affected by sudden bereavement.
We’re hosting an online forum to bring together men who have experienced the sudden loss of a child or young person. This is a space to connect, share and listen to others going through unimaginable loss.
The forum will be guided by a panel of bereaved men, counsellors and friends from other bereavement charities, but we want you to have your say.
Share your thoughts and ask questions, or simply be present among peers with similar experiences.
Everyone’s journey through grief is different — and so is the support they need
That’s why we take a holistic approach, offering a wide range of personalised services, from memory boxes and counselling to complementary therapies and more. Whatever someone needs, we’re here to help. And we stay by their side for as long as it takes, because there’s no time limit on grief.
