Starting conversations about dying is often not as hard as you might think.
Every year, people around the country use Dying Matters Awareness Week as a moment to encourage all communities to get talking in whatever way, shape or form works for them. In 2023, Dying Matters Awareness Week will take place from Monday 8 – Sunday 14 May.
For Dying Matters Awareness Week 2023, we’ll be focusing on Dying Matters at work.
