gentle dusk
All of us worry about death and dying at some point, and we all have experience
of it; but when the time comes for urgent decisions, it can be hard to find the
words. Only 7 % of us have recorded our wishes and preferences for the care we
would like at the end of our lives. Gentle Dusk is a socially-minded
organisation raising awareness of the importance of end of life care planning.
Through our training courses, workshops and support services, we aim to bring as
much compassion as possible to death, dying and bereavement. We help people to
document their emergency and future care wishes, financial and legal affairs. We
want to help improve the quality of life for anyone facing death, for their
loved ones and the health professionals involved in their care. At Gentle Dusk
we believe that open and honest planning for the future doesn’t have to be
scary. It doesn’t have to be sad. These conversations can be gentle, calm,
reassuring and empowering – and we can help you get started.
