About Us
Death is as natural as childbirth; yet, while we love to talk about babies and birth, we do everything we can to avoid thinking about death and dying. For this special event for Dying Matters Awareness Week, we are delighted to welcome to Weston-super-Mare Dr Kathryn Mannix, renowned expert on death, dying and end-of-life care and best-selling author.
Many of us carry around unanswered questions about the end of life. Perhaps we have always wondered why a relative stopped eating or drinking before they died, or we've struggled with our own mortality. Drawing on decades of experience as a palliative care doctor, Kathryn's warm and insightful approach provides valuable perspectives on some of life's most important topics. Whether you are dealing with grief or a serious illness, supporting a friend or relative, or seeking a better understanding of end-of-life issues and decisions, this event is for you.
The evening will offer a safe space for the audience to ask any questions they have. On registration you are welcome to let us know what questions you would like to cover. Kathryn will be in conversation with Lucy Selman from the University of Bristol, founding director of Good Grief Festival. After the conversation, books will be available for signing. Bar open for hot and cold drinks and snacks.
This is a Good Grief Weston event encouraging ongoing conversations about end-of-life care and grief as part of the Coastal Community and Creative Health project.
