A friends of mine is dying.

No really dying. As I write he is now four and half months over his due date for death. He has brain cancer. he also have three daughters aged between 19 and 6.

It is real.

Very real.

So I am very jappy to help promoate Dying Matters Awareness Week. Now in its sixth year you can read about it in more detail here. This year’s theme is “Talk, Plan, Live”

More to the point we do need to talk about death. Not just from the grief point of view but also because of the sheer banal practicalities involved.

It would be great if you would share the post above on your FB page or Twitter to help us promote the week.
