💜 DYING TO KNOW DAY 💜

Have you been to a Dying to Know Day event? Or are you heading to one this year?

Dying to Know Day is an opportunity to start conversations we don’t always find easy to have — about death, dying, living well and dying well.

And there’s so much more to the conversation than death itself.

It’s about planning ahead.
It’s about knowing what matters to you.
It’s about supporting the people we love.
It’s about understanding our choices.
And it’s about making the most of life while we’re living it.

💜 NALAG Grief Support will be out in the community at a number of Dying to Know Day events, sharing information, support and conversations about loss and grief.

📍 Cobar
📍 Tottenham
📍 Tullamore

Come along, have a conversation, ask questions, listen, learn — and perhaps start a conversation of your own.

Because talking about death doesn’t make it happen.

It helps us live well, plan well and support each other when the time comes.

💜 Come and learn about death, dying — and everything in between.

As we round up Grief Awareness Month, we’ve been reflecting on how this all began.

National Grief Awareness Day began in the United States through the work of grief advocate Angie Cartwright. What started as a single day dedicated to bringing grief out of the shadows, challenging the myths and clichés surrounding grief, and opening up conversations has grown into something much bigger.

At NALAG Grief Support, we took that idea and turned a day into a week.

And then, recognising that one week wasn’t enough, we turned a week into a month.

Why?

Because grief doesn’t fit neatly into a day, a week or even a month.

Grief is part of life. And awareness of grief needs to be too.

That’s why NALAG Grief Support advocates 365 days a year for better grief support, greater awareness and increased grief literacy — so that individuals, families, workplaces and communities can become more grief conscious and grief confident.

Grief Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but our work doesn’t.

Day → Week → Month → 365 days.

Because grief matters.
Every day.
Every loss.
Every story. 💜

WORKSHOP 7 IS NOW LIVE!

When Losses Accumulate: Grief, Ageing & Later Life

Growing older can bring many different kinds of loss — changes in health, independence, relationships, identity, routines and community, as well as the death of people we love.

When these losses accumulate, grief can become complex and often goes unrecognised.

In Workshop 7, we explore grief in later life, cumulative loss, and how we can support older people with compassion, dignity and understanding.

🎓 Complete the workshop as part of our Grief Literacy campaign and continue your journey towards understanding grief across the lifespan.

💜 Workshop 7 is live now.
