And why not share with the rest of your organisation? Here's a suggested paragraph that you can use in your internal communications. 

Stigma around grieving, and a lack of understanding about what happens when you’re dying, mean that too many of us are struggling to cope when faced with life’s inevitable challenges. And the workplace is no exception.

We spend so much of our lives at work – and we shouldn’t have to hide our experiences of death and dying from our colleagues, our peers, or our bosses. We want to create open and compassionate society where we are comfortable facing the realities of dying, death and grief.

But talking about this can be hard, especially with colleagues. This Dying Matters Awareness Week, join Hospice UK's Compassionate Employers programme in How to talk about death at work - a webinar that will provide practical advice on how to start workplace conversations on this often taboo subject.

During challenging conversations, do you ever find yourself losing focus on what's being said? Avoiding talking about emotional topics? Or saying the wrong thing?

Find out where you stand on our Compassionate Superpower online quiz - which will be launched during Dying Matters Awareness Week. 

We couldn't do any of this alone. Join the #DyingMattersAtWork conversation on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
