It's #DyingMattersAwareness week.
This year's theme is being #InAGoodPlace to die.
That might mean being mentally prepared, emotionally ready, or able to be in your place of choice with the right care available.

Thousands of people are dying at home without the right support, including Maureen’s parents.

This #DMAW22 we’re asking you to show parliament everyone deserves quality end of life care. Take action, write to your MP so everyone dies #InAGoodPlace

Amazing to have been part of the iconic @WestminsterMile this weekend for @RuthStraussFdn - helping families facing grief & loss🏃🏻‍♀️✨ #RunForRuth

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

Today I wrote to my MP @elliereeves to ensure that everyone dies #InAGoodPlace. Since Covid, thousands have died at home without vital support. We need to understand what’s been happening behind closed doors & call for change. You can too! https://t.co/lWM0RES8UE @DyingMatters

It’s @DyingMatters Awareness Week next week & it looks to be a good ‘un 🙌✨ Despite no sleep & a severe case of baby brain, I’m wholeheartedly looking forward to tuning into this 👇#DMAW2022 #thekidsarecomingtoo

[Dying Matters @DyingMatters]

Let’s start from scratch with language, imagery, and approach to conversations about death.

Join us, Tuesday 3 May @ 4.30 pm for a conversation about shifting the narrative around death: https://t.co/jW4uKeSRUx #DMAW2022 @rankinphoto @Simonablake @judekellystudio @womenzonebfd

Hi Twitter pals, I'm hiring for a Media Manager!

Looking for someone to build on huge success in media in past couple of years.

Deeply moving stories and an issue - how we die - that's become a huge source of attention.

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

Amazing work from the @dyingmatters team on such an important issue - families need answers and people’s stories need to be heard 🙌 #covidinquiry #inagoodplace @hospiceuk

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

We all deserve good end of life care - whoever and wherever we are. That's why I'm joining @DyingMatters and calling for the @covidinquiryuk to investigate why 100,000+ additional people died at home during the pandemic, many without vital support: https://t.co/JvWo579PxE

If you missed @vsmacdonald's @Channel4News report last night telling the stories behind the 100,000 excess deaths at home since the pandemic - watch again: https://t.co/9Jgq7K12TG @DyingMatters @hospiceuk

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

1,000 excess #DeathsAtHome each week since March 2020. But little is known about people’s experiences behind closed doors. Their stories need to be heard. I’m standing with @DyingMatters https://t.co/1YQmKMrXq2

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

V proud of the team @hospiceuk for highlighting such an important story on @Channel4News tonight - and thank you to @Maureen30227741 for telling her story of the care her parents received as they died at home 🙏

[Dying Matters @DyingMatters]

LIVE📺@Channel4News: 1,000 excess #DeathsAtHome each week since March 2020 but did these families get the help they needed?

@VSMacDonald hears @Maureen30227741’s story of caring for her parents (in pic) at home.

Absolutely loved Far, Far Away from @auroraorchestra @KingsPlace - this little listener was totally entranced 🥰🎄🎶🩰 thanks for having us - will definitely be back!

[Aurora Orchestra @auroraorchestra]

Getting ready to open the #magicaltoybox at @KingsPlace this weekend. If you know a little listener aged 0-5 who loves stories, this is the perfect introduction to live music. 4, 5, 11 & 12 December #tchaikovsky #classicalmusicforkids #orchestraltheatre https://t.co/3nUhlJ1rvk

“That pain in your heart, it never really heals.”

Grief affects us all - but each year #IRemember reminds us that we’re not on our own.

Take a moment, listen: @sulibreaks | ‘Fireworks’

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

There’s a small person in this household who is transfixed by the words of @sulibreaks 🎇

Grateful that she’ll grow up knowing that just because people are gone, it doesn’t mean you have to forget them. #IRemember @DyingMatters

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

@JamillaHussain1 @DyingMatters Ah @JamillaHussain1, a huge thank you and right back at you. Thinking of you today - not an easy time, and I know the very feeling of continuing to discover what an incredible person someone was, and how lucky we were to have them🙏

[Imogen Thomas @imogenmthomas]

Charlie's story broke my heart in last year's #IRemember and I will always always remember it. We're so grateful to Andy @CharliesSnowman for his inspiring and brave words - thank you Andy & family.

[Dying Matters @DyingMatters]

"Death is a part of life & if we don't talk about it we can't make it better for the next family."
Following a devastating diagnosis for their beautiful little boy, Andy @CharliesSnowman had to make decisions no parent should have to make. https://t.co/DJCoajEytr #IRemember 1/2
