It was brilliant to speak at the Jesus College Intellectual Forum this week. I explored historical and contemporary ideas, and fears, about death and burial, alongside Dr Sally Raudon, a brilliant anthropologist colleague.

The way we talk about dying matters - but what matters most is kindness, not the words we use.
Listen to some experts - dying people and their beloveds.
Also calming wisdom from @DrLucyPain
Thanks, @dyingmatters.

Please could you share this opportunity to take part in research that aims to make UK bereavement support more equitable? Thank you 🙏

Interesting read about using 'conversation cards' for challenging conversations. We're exploring how games can be used in EOL/bereavement support in similar ways. Would love to hear from you if you have experience or interest in this.

Looking forward to the start of the 'Ageing as Adventure' conference today in Cambridge. I'll be presenting on how poetry can help us to live well, and reflecting on what I've learned from working with @ArthurRankHouse
