Dave (Lippy People) is in front of a laptop with a group of people of mixed abilities and from a variety of backgrounds. They are reviewing a legacy video on a laptop. Some people are smiling in memory, some people look sad and some people look serious.

#LippyPeople are getting ready to release the next round of the 4 L's Project.
A crucial step is reviewing the videos, to ensure everyone is happy with the way their story is told.

A moment that changed me: I went to a death cafe – and learned how to live a much happier life I felt peace flood over me as I realised I no longer needed to seek validation from others. Rather than saying yes to everything, I became more open, present and patient

#DyingMatters

This week is #DyingMatters week. We use this awareness week to create a culture of openness about death and dying.

In this article Sylvia Rothschild, Spiritual Care Lead, discusses how different cultures deal with the universal experience of grief and loss: www.hokh.org/dying-matter...

Our chaplaincy and end of life care teams have been out talking to colleagues for #DyingMatters Week.

The focus is on how to better support people of different communities and cultures at the end of life, when caring for someone who is dying, and bereavement support after death.

Ambiguous loss: what it is and why is it important? Maybe you’ve felt a profound sadness and hope about something at the same time, but unsure if that is grief. Explore this further with Neil Thompson’s examples about ambiguous loss and what it means.
