Death is an unavoidable reality of life; yet people hesitate to discuss it. This module explores how to discuss death and end-of-life. It identifies some of the challenges and the benefits that holding conversations about it this can bring.
Approaches for end-of-life, illness, death, and grief are important for the person involved, healthcare professionals, family-friends-carers, and especially children. This module sets how different stakeholders in the process can access useful information that enable them to address the issues associated with the end-of-life through informed dialogue.
Enabling open and honest dialogue about dying and death can lead to greater understanding and acceptance as well as enabling the person at end-of-life to access better care and support. This can help foster a more compassionate and informed approach to end-of-life care and grieving processes.
