🗣️ “To understand what death will look like”

It’s #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek with @hospiceuk.bsky.social, focusing on breaking down the stigma of talking about death. We’re sharing practical advice on how primary care can support patients and families in preparing for death and grief.

This #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek Angela Dowson, Palliative Dementia Care Senior Nurse at @mariecurieuk.bsky.social in Wales, reminds us of the importance of taking a holistic approach in preparing for death with dementia.

This film from our No Barriers Here study shares the stories & end of life choices of people often excluded from palliative care due to identity, culture, ethnicity & race.

Because dignity, choice & individualised care matters for everyone

A huge thank you to all the staff at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital who supported the #DyingMatters event yesterday and have supported #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek and #ACPDay2025 this year

It’s all so sad, but it’s not a time that has any real acknowledgement of loss; it’s not a time with set condolences (“I’m sorry for your loss”); it’s not a time with rituals like mourning.

It’s #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek, so I decided to publish a blog post that I’d been holding back, as I worried it was too focused on loss - but I guess this is the week for it: dementiainthefamily.com/2025/05/08/t...

During #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek we’re reminded that talking about death is a way to honour life.

Conversations about last wishes and legacy ease uncertainty and help our family and friends understand what we need.

Let’s make space to have these conversations. Let’s make death part of life💜

It’s #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek with @hospiceuk.bsky.social

The mission of Dying Matters is to break down the stigma of talking about death and dying, by encouraging communities to unite through sharing their experiences and beliefs on death, grief and bereavement.

It's #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek!
