It was brilliant to speak at the Jesus College Intellectual Forum this week. I explored historical and contemporary ideas, and fears, about death and burial, alongside Dr Sally Raudon, a brilliant anthropologist colleague. Recordings of the series here: good-death.english.cam.ac.uk/collab/

A brilliant new original drama and conversation about life, love, loss and grief. Tickets for 19th Nov available!

The way we talk about dying matters - but what matters most is kindness, not the words we use. Listen to some experts - dying people and their beloveds. Also calming wisdom from @DrLucyPain Thanks, @dyingmatters. #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek

Please could you share this opportunity to take part in research that aims to make UK bereavement support more equitable? Thank you 🙏 @JeffreyAmber @BlackInMH @NDodzro @ubeleinitiative @CovidMemorialUK @BAMEMentalHS @cahn_uk @GoodGriefFest

Interesting read about using 'conversation cards' for challenging conversations. We're exploring how games can be used in EOL/bereavement support in similar ways. Would love to hear from you if you have experience or interest in this. theguardian.com/wellness/2024/…

Excited to be joining Cambridge Access Surgery and local practitioners for a training session on how we can use literature and the arts in bereavement support for those who work and live in hostels for the homeless. Thank you for inviting us!
