Undertaker 24 From North Wales, Yeah

I left boarding school when I was just 16, kind of felt like it was time to move on, ya know? After that, I started working as an undertaker because things were pretty tough at home-my dad passed away when he was only 36 while I was still in secondary scholo. And then my grandad went too back in 2006. Then there was another big loss-a couple years later my uncle died, he was already 63. Fast forward to more recently, my borther passed at the age of 38. So yeah, 2019 hit me really hard when I lost my gran as well.

After all that grief and stress, I moved up to North Wales from Aberystwyth-big change-and soon enough I was struggling with depression and anxiety. It got so bad I had to leave the undertakers even though it felt like home. The job was part of who I am, but dealing with my mental health meant stepping away for a while.

Now I don't work anymore, but I still have my nickname "" because I love that life-plus I was born on July 24th. And you know what? My therapy involves two Guinea pig boys named Fred and Solo. They're like my family now-theey live in my flat with their own little stroller for trips out. Life has its ups and downs, but these little guys keep me going every day.
