Share your story

Have you ever read someone’s story and thought, ‘this is exactly what I needed to hear today'? Your story can do that for someone else.

Our stories, whilst all unique, are all completely normal. And talking about them is important for all of us. It could help someone else in a similar situation. It could help us better understand what's happening for people at the end of life. Or, it could just help you.

We're looking for stories to feature on the Dying Matters channels and website, and to help us, and our parent charity Hospice UK, better understand what is happening for people who are dying, and who have been bereaved.

For this year's Dying Matters Awareness Week (6 - 12 May), we're keen to hear your experience of talking about dying with a healthcare professional.

Honest, timely conversations about death and dying are essential to good end of life care. Yet all too often, barriers mean that patients, carers and families may not understand what is happening, or get the information and support they need.

If you have experience of these types of conversations about dying with a healthcare professional, we’d like to hear from you, whether you feel they were good or bad.

In your words, share a memory of a loved one who has died, the impact they had on your life, something difficult they experienced or overcame, something they taught you, or a special moment with them you hold dear.
