Dying Matters Week 2024
What is Dying Matters?
NI Hospice is proud to support Dying Matters Awareness Week, a national campaign run by Hospice UK that aims to create an open culture in which we're all comfortable talking about death, dying and grief.
This year's theme, 'The way we talk about Dying Matters', focuses on the language that we use, and conversations we have, around death and dying – specifically between healthcare professionals and patients, their carers and their families.
How to get involved
Death, dying, and bereavement are difficult conversations to have. They can feel awkward and uncomfortable, especially with loved ones.
Here at Northern Ireland Hospice, we're committed to breaking the silence and normalising these important discussions.
This Dying Matters Week, everyone can make a difference! Talk about death and dying in whatever way feels right for you.
To help you get started, NI Hospice is proud to present a short video series featuring insightful discussions about this often taboo topic with our Family Support Team. These videos are a valuable resource for our entire community.
