Oh @BBC -
Please use your D-words.
There is dignity in the language of death, used with compassion & kindness.
Let's give that dignity to the Queen.
Those closest to her are not resorting to euphemisms. Neither should you.

Whilst the pandemic became a springboard for the public to question their mortality and revise their estate plans, it is estimated that more than half the population still do not have a Will in place.
So why is it important that a Will should exist?

It's Volunteers Week; an annual celebration of the contribution people make across the UK through volunteering.
#Amersham has amazing volunteers in a range of groups.
Read about the AAG's Volunteers Fair here (there's a list of the groups who came too).

When discussing end of life care, there is one important question, what matters to you?
@hospiceuk have produced a Planning Ahead tool, which can make choices about end of life care less daunting and put you in control: loom.ly/EZw5Pb0 #PlanAhead @drkathrynmannix

Do you know what you want for when you die? Do your family and friends?
It's not easy to talk about death and not that easy to know how to get started.
#DyingMatters has this helpful resource page to help you plan ahead - for you and your loved ones. loom.ly/x4Ze1EA

How do you start a conversation about death? We think some of the best ways are everyday things. Favourite music, food, places. Places you want to visit? Where to have ashes scattered? What music at your funeral? What would your last meal be? #InAGoodPlace ow.ly/kyhs50EHVe9

There is an urgent need to de-medicalise end of life conversations & change the debate on advance/anticipatory care planning. It's never too early to talk to our family and friends about @WhatMattersConv @LucyAlexandria @rcgp @ProfMarkTaubert @carriep100 whatmattersconversations.org…

#DMAW21 is next month! Running from 10 - 16 May, #DyingMatters Awareness Week is a chance for individuals & orgs to come together and open up the conversation around death, dying and bereavement - this year's focus is on being #inagoodplace to die.

Why do we need to talk more about #death and #dying? 💬
Talking doesn't bring death closer - it's about planning for life and helping us make the most of our time. Take a look at "Let's Talk About Dying" for more info at ow.ly/EJO750E1qh2 from @DyingMatters

This beautiful, harrowing, profound piece by @KateClanchy1 should being compulsory reading on every medical school, nursing & paramedic curriculum.
I implore you to read it. Please know there *are* so many in the NHS trying to build change, to do better.
