Good Endings Together
Welcome
This space is for all things death and grief, for signposting to helpful resources and upcoming workshops and death cafes.
What is the importance of a ‘good ending’?
I’m pleased you asked. There’s actually some controversy around the idea of a ‘good ending’ or ‘good death’ and so I’ve written a blog about it here.
Ultimately, I just really like helping people and if you or someone you know is anxious about death, the dying process or unsure of where to start with planning ahead, there’s a lot of resources available to support you. I truly believe that we can live more authentic, joyful lives when we are living in the light of our mortality, meaning that we have taken a moment to consider that we’re not always going to be here, and what that means to us individually.
If we are in a position to plan ahead a little, it can make a huge difference to what our experience is in life and in death.
Below is some further information on some of the resources available. I hope you find it useful!

What is a Death Doula?
Death Doulas, also sometimes referred to as End of Life Doulas, offer a wide range of guidance and support to anyone wanting to plan ahead or for people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and their loved ones. From guiding people through advance care planning to providing practical, emotional and spiritual support at the end of a person’s life.
