Dying Matters Week 2nd-6th May 2022

Dying Matters Week is a national awareness-raising week to encourage people everywhere to talk openly about death, dying and bereavement.

What is Dying Matters Week all about?

You know you should talk to your loved ones about what they want to happen when they die, but not only is it a difficult conversation, it’s also a complex one.

Where to start? Buried or cremated? What songs would you have played? Who would you want to arrange your funeral? Would you have flowers or donations? Some times it can be a relief just to get the conversation started.

At LOROS having conversations about dying are part of providing good care to our patients.

This year we’ve been asking our LOROS colleagues what they want when they die. Click the links below to see what they said. We asked them:

How would you celebrate the life of a loved one? A LOROS colleague whose wife has recently died tells us how he arranged a fitting funeral according to her wishes.
