We held our second annual Let's talk about dying event on Thursday March 13th.
This has proven to be an invaluable event offering a safe space to have open and honest discussions, air concerns, find out information and ask questions about a topic we really don't talk about enough.
Rather than being left in the dark to navigate your way, or leave loved ones to guess your own wishes, these four sessions cover very practical and useful information to give you the knowledge to feel well-informed and hopefully a bit more open to having these useful conversations.
We recorded the sessions which are available below along with a Q&A summary.
