Each year in August, there is a national awareness raising campaign called Dying to Know Day which aims to help all Australians feel supported and inspired by their own wishes for their final arrangements.
This year MIFWA hosted events for family carers and staff, and the focus was on personalising final arrangements and building community, as together we can break down the stigma and awkwardness around conversations about death, dying, and grief.
The engaging education sessions were facilitated by Erin Griffin, a Dying to Know Day Champion and covered:
- The importance of planning ahead regarding the end of life
- How to “Get Dead Set” organised with a provided Checklist
- Allowed people to consider what their Emotional Will could look like
- Plus, dream-storming your funeral arrangements
