Dying Matters Awareness Week #BigConversation

The #BigConversation is the theme of this year’s Dying Matters Awareness week which starts today.

This year the topic is #BigConversation, a topic close to our hearts, which aims to get people talking about death, dying and end of life care.  Although this might be the hardest topic to ever broach with your parents, children, friends and family; talking about dying, won’t actually make it happen.  Having the #BigConversation will help to give you the peace to live your life fully, knowing that your end of life wishes are known, understood, and in place.

There are events being held all over the country to help you start that #BigConversation (visit www.dyingmatters.org/events to find one in your area)

In addition, every day from 1-2pm GMT, Dying Matters will be hosting a Tweetchat on Twitter on a different theme relating to the end of life and bereavement.  Why not join in, and join us, using the #BigConveration hashtag.

Monday 9 May: The importance of making a funeral plan

Tuesday 10 May: Planning for your future care and support

Wednesday 11 May: The importance of making a will

Thursday 12 May: Signing up as an organ donor

Friday 13 May: Making sure your loved ones know your plans

Saturday 14 May and Sunday 15 May: Your choice – chat about anything and everything related to dying, death and bereavement.

If you are unable to make the Tweetchats, feel free to contact us and we will help you plan for your #BigConversation.
