You made me stop and think
I recently attended a group to help me with my breathing difficulties. A lady came to speak to us about dying matters and end of life care. She provided us with information for the future. Although I sat thinking do I really want this, I ended up enjoying and feeling enthusiastic about an uncomfortable subject. As a result I came away and thought long and hard about what I wanted to do. I have also had the opportunity to share this with my family. One of your leaflets was in with the information given to me hence my need to share this. Dying does matter and it has proved really useful for me to get my house in order and plan for my future and life with my condition. The information and the nurse promoted living well but recognising dying matters. Well now I have sorted the dying bit I am getting on with the living!
