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.
Recordings of the series here:

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 🙏

1/ People from the Black Caribbean community are under-represented in our recruitment.
It's important that their experiences are included in our research so that bereavement services are developed to meet their needs too.
ALT A recruitment poster for a research study. The image shows six people's hands coming together in fists in a display of support and unity. The text reads: Join our research study Equitable Bereavement Care for All Have you experienced a bereavement and are you from a group other than White British? We want to hear from you to help us develop bereavement services to meet the needs of people from all ethnicities. We are conducting short interviews and group discussions. There will be a £20 voucher for taking part. Please visit the link below to find out more. www.kcl.ac.uk/research/equitable-bereavement-care-for-all Or email us at [email protected] The logos at the bottom are 1) King's College London, 2) University of Sheffield, 3) Funded by NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research)
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.

Excited to be joining Cambridge Access Surgery and local practitioners for a training session on how we can use literature and the arts in bereavement support for those who work and live in hostels for the homeless. Thank you for inviting us!
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
Some recommended listening and watching from the BBC this month.
