    When @GaryScribbler was bereaved suddenly, he turned to doodling. His wonderful drawings have been shared so many times since and not only did he write this blog post for us, but he featured on our podcast: dyingmatters.org/blog/dont-bott… #DyingToBeHeard #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek

    COVID-19 is going to mean some people dying before their time, or some of us not being able to visit someone for a last time. It's going to affect us in ways we're only just starting to understand. We'll be sharing what we know using this hashtag #BeforeTheirTime

    There is no right or wrong place to die. Yet thousands of people are dying each year without their needs & wishes being met. With the right planning & support, people can be #InAGoodPlace to die, at home, in a hospice or in hospital. Join us ow.ly/Tt5v50EHf59 #DMAW21
