We used to talk about death. To prepare and plan for a future without us. It provided comfort and security for everyone involved, and drew us close together when we needed it most. The conversation was an act of love, bearing witness to a life well lived, and simply having it, could open doors to the soul. So we’re bringing back and you can too.
Dying to Know Day is an annual campaign where we encourage people to start conversations about death. During August, people hold events, gatherings at home, take individual action, and much more, all to improve their knowledge around choice at end of life. Below you’ll find some guides and toolkits to support having conversations with the people in your life.
