Dying Matters Week 2020

Every year in May, LOROS hosts Dying Matters, a national awareness-raising week to encourage people everywhere to talk openly about death, dying and bereavement.

It’s not an easy subject to talk about but we hope, by putting the topic out there it will make it easier for people to discuss.
