Pleased to share our editorial on #nursing & #DeathLiteracy
We must support people to ‘make decisions that reflect their values, preferences & needs around #PalliativeCare & #EndOfLife care, not with answers, but with presence, compassion, courage & care.’

I love bumping into creative #DeathLiteracy while Christmas shopping!
Death literacy does not remove pain. It removes panic. It gives families clarity, steadies teams, and strengthens trust.

At @royalsoced.bsky.social Curious Festival running @goodlifedeathgrief.bsky.social superhero-themed escape room "Powers, Puzzles & Prescience". Lots of intense codebreaking & laughter from the groups so far. Also some v gentle learning along the way, and a useful comic to take away. #DeathLiteracy

Interest in supporting the dying without carer burnout continues to grow! My Mallon Model article has been downloaded 5757 (a pleasing symmetry of numbers here) times. Yay!

2 older women sit with their hair in rollers next to old-fashioned hair dryers holding teacups and laughing together. The woman on the left wears overalls and has colourful tattoos and says "I tried a wind phone at my daughter's funeral and feel so much better" Text at the bottom says "The secret I'm glad I shared. Learn more: Meander House Friday 8 August 11am. Deloraine House Monday 11 August 11am." The Dying to Know Day logo is at the bottom centre of the image.
Don't forget the Dying to Know Day events in our neighbourhood over the next week!
This year's topic is grief and wind phones - Friday 8th August 11am at Meander House.
Monday 11th August at Deloraine House, 11am.

Talking about death won’t make it come faster.
Talking about death won’t make it come faster.
But it will make what comes after a whole lot easier for the people you love.
Normalize the conversation now—before you need it. 🖤 ☠️

92% of people agree that talking about their end-of-life preferences is important.
But... Only 32% actually do it.
Why the disconnect?
Why talking about death is still taboo—and what it’s costing us.

Talking about death won’t kill you. Avoiding it won’t save you. But being real about it? That might actually change how you live.
#deathliteracy #deathpositive
Talking openly about death can feel hard — but books like this help us find the words.
Looking forward to Sarah's book this autumn.

A picture of two older women siting near over-head hair dryers with their hair in curlers. Text reads " I used a wind telephone at a funeral and felt so much better. The secret I'm glad I shared " The Dying to Know Day logo is at the bottom right.
Did you know that wind phones are a great source of comfort and support for those left behind after a death and are a staple of grief culture?
Yup.

Today is Joy Day!

A grinning woman with white curly hair and a rainbow unicorn Oodies stands next to glass sliding doors reflecting green paddocks. To be honest, her makeup looks fabulous.
I had the BEST time recording with @catherine_ashton_critical of Critical Info this morning! (Not in an Oodie but Remy needed a walk)

A black background with a purple, white and green stylised wreath with a white centre and text " Advance Planning. Plan your end of life and live better - you are worth it! gdep.com.au "
The world is unsettled right now, and one of the things my clients and I keep coming back to is how advance planning can help with some feelings of uncertainty.
The more we plan the easier it is for the people we love who support us at end of life and into death.

You don’t need to be a professional to offer care.
You just need to show up.
That’s enough.
