Dying Matters Week 2025
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 Culture of Dying Matters” – invites us to reflect on how different communities and cultures in the UK approach the end of life. While beliefs and customs may vary, our emotional experience of loss is something we all share.
Grief touches everyone. Though we may talk about it in different ways, the feelings of sadness, love, and longing are deeply human. This week is about recognising both the differences and the common threads that connect us when we face death.
At Northern Ireland Hospice, we believe in normalising these conversations so that everyone feels better equipped to support themselves and others during life’s most difficult times.
Introducing Our 2025 Video Series
To help start these important conversations, NI Hospice is proud to present a short video series featuring members of our Team.
In our first video, Social Worker Julieanne Conlon explores this year’s theme. She reflects on the many ways people understand and respond to death, and reminds us that there are no right or wrong answers – just shared human experience.
Watch now and join the conversation.
Because when it comes to death and dying, the way we talk – and the cultures we come from – truly matter.
