Amazing work @QSA! Guides like this really help to make tasks, like funeral planning, less daunting. It also makes sure you can talk about your wishes to loved ones and have the control to be #InAGoodPlace when you die. #DMAW22#DMAW2022

Grief doesn’t go away, it doesn’t grow smaller over time. Instead we grow larger around our grief. Some days grief consumes you, but on other days you have space for other things.
This is how we explain grief to children and young people 👉 https://t.co/WVrJaIn5eB

"It really is okay to talk about death and grief."
It can feel hard to talk about death sometimes, but if we share our stories we can change the conversation.
