We partnered with @IrishPrisons to deliver #GriefInTheWorkplace training to the EAP Staff Support Officers (SSOs). Almost 80 SSOs began their training day with psychoeducation about #grief & #loss to help them deliver grief-informed care to their colleagues.

Talking about end-of-life wishes can be scary, says Liz Jacques from our @caruprogramme. But she finds comfort in knowing that she's had these conversations with her family. #TimeToTalk #TomorrowStartsToday

What a lovely morning spent w/ the 100+ participants in CARU’s networking event for CHO3☕️We talked about hidden #care at #endoflife in #nursinghomes & the healing power of the well-timed #hamsandwich & #icecream & jelly🍦Thanks to Mary Fahy of @IrishHospice for the invitation💜

@FeargalORourke @CllrAengusOrour Sincere condolences

My mum passed earlier this afternoon. To many she was a former teacher, politician, broadcaster, author but to myself and @CllrAengusOrour she was our mum. She loved us to bits ,taught us to respect everyone, to be honest , to work hard and study hard, to love our family.

"Losing someone you love is hard, but the thought of their memory being forgotten is unbearable." Thank you to @JanetTobinMart, from our @caruprogramme, for sharing the importance of giving bereaved people space to talk about the ones they've lost. #TimeToTalk 💛
