Avoiding speaking with a loved one about end-of-life care or death? We don't think you'll regret trying! For concrete tips on, watch Kathryn Mannix & Julia Samuel's 'How to Have Life-Changing Conversations about the End of Life' youtu.be/Yn1iYazSLlQ

Just one day to go 'til this brilliant session being delivered as part of the #SheffieldLifeLossAndDeath Festival with Kathryn Mannix and Mariana Garcia. Everyone is welcome to join this free online session, simply register to attend via us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #dyingmatters

So sad I couldn't attend this fantastic event in Barcelona.
Very well done, Festival de Vida al Final de la Vida - I hope you go from strength to strength.

I love the expression 'living your death.' It helps us see that this person is still living their life, navigating their final moments. It is our duty to enable them to do this with safety and dignity, as defined by their own values.
Gracias Festival de Vida al Final de la Vida

We are planning an exciting study to explore in what ways #religion and #spirituality may help people when faced with #uncertainty from long-term or life-threatening illness. Please go to tiny.cc/rgu5yz if you have views to help guide our research questions.

I'd love to see BBC Radio 4 #TheLawShow give the #MentalCapacityAct some attention.
You, Alex Ruck Keene & Prof. Mark Taubert would make an excellent team!

What better way to mark a year since The Bleeding Tree was published than to see it included in the curated ‘death shelf’ by Dead Good Legacies at a pop-up bookshop ‘grown’ from bookshop waste and mycelium! The world’s first LIVING MUSHROOM BOOKSHOP.
