Death remains a difficult topic to address openly, left to professionals
in hospitals and hospices. Talking About Death aims to equip ministers
and pastoral carers to enable individuals and families to say and do the
important things on their minds.
It includes:
Learning How To Die: How the medicalisation of death has affected
thinking around death; the role of Christian faith.
Talking about death positively: exploring the string feelings around
death; how theories of loss can be helpful.
Christian Approaches to Talking About Death and Dying
Societal Attitudes To Talking About Death And Dying
What is to be gained by talking about death and Dying
Practical examples and stories
Contemplating our own death – resources for end of life conversations
