The way we talk about dying matters. #DyingMattersWeek Listen to the experts - dying people, and their closest loved ones. In the end, it's about giving them an opportunity to control the conversation - listening, respecting, supporting. Thanks @DyingMatters
Dying Matters Awareness Week starts today 💛 Patricia, Mumtaz & Lucy add their voices to this @dyingmatters animation exploring the power of language at the end of someone’s life. 👉 Please help share this post. Thank you. #DMAW24 #TheWayWeTalkAboutDyingMatters @NLondonHospice

I confess, I felt like an imposter at #adi2024 today. I'm just a 3rd Yr PhD student surrounded by amazing people. Everyone appeared to have come with someone. I felt alone, overwhelmed & desperate to have confidence to speak to others more. But, I learned a lot from the speakers.
