Pride in Death
Death and dying aren’t often talked about, but they touch us all. Following a successful LGBTQIA+ Death Cafe held during Palliative Care Week 2022, LGBT Ireland, Irish Hospice Foundation and All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care held a ‘Chat with Strangers’ to kickstart thinking ahead and reflecting on what death, dying and loss means to us.
Starting at the End
Good Day Cork and Irish Hospice Foundation held a morning of storytelling and zine making on death and dying at the Grand Parade Library, Cork. A courageous, creative approach to starting to talk about the end, and thinking about your own wishes for when the time comes in a small group setting.
