Compassionate Conversations<\/h2>\n

\u00a0Death and dying is a human experience we all share, just as we are born we will die. \u00a0 And yet culturally, we are uncomfortable talking about death, dying and bereavement. But talking with others helps to ease feelings of overwhelm, social isolation and loneliness. \u00a0Conversations validate our feelings and we can share information and ways of accessing support.<\/p>\n

We encourage opportunities to talk about experiences, knowledge, feelings and beliefs because it is these compassionate conversations that offer practical and social support which improves the quality of life for others.<\/p>\n

Stay informed of where and when compassionate conversations are happening in local communities through our social media channels.<\/p>\n
