Raising awareness of dying, death and bereavement... that is the vision and purpose of the Hospice UK led charity, Dying Matters.
This week is Dying Matters Awareness Week and the theme for this year is “Dying to be heard.”
"Talking about dying and death is the last taboo. People who are dying can feel very isolated,” reports Revd Meg Burton, the Secretary for Healthcare Chaplaincy for Free Churches. Meg goes on to say that… ”This Awareness Week is looking at dying from the dying person's perspective and will give ideas for people to help encourage conversations."
We hope that the resources that have been produced can help these conversations happen and support families in listening to their loved ones… and especially in giving confidence in shaping the conversation for those who are dying to be heard…
