Overview
About the event
When Andrew Anastasios published his book called Dying to Know: Bringing Death to Life in 2010, it offered a playful look at the idea of having conversations about death. The book offers some options for conversation starters to remove some of the awkwardness from the topic.
The Groundswell Project, founded in Australia and inspired by the book, now works with organizations, communities and individuals to help people better experience death, care and grief.
Dying to Know Day (also called D2K Day) was developed by The Groundswell Project. The belief is that conversations about death are often taboo, but they don�??t need to be. Having these types of difficult conversations in advance might feel a bit uncomfortable or awkward now but, ultimately, this can help to reduce the anguish that is felt by loved ones after someone dies.
