Digital project: The Art of Dying Well

The Art of Dying Well is a new website and digital project that has received a positive response from both the public and the media.

Described by the Guardian newspaper as ‘making a positive contribution to society’s communal wellbeing’, the site is based in the Catholic tradition but is resolutely open to all, with real-life stories and advice about dealing with the final journey. Professionals in palliative care, ethics, chaplaincy and history have collaborated on the content which is intended to offer help and solace to the dying, the bereaved, carers (professional and otherwise) and those seeking spiritual support are included.

The project is growing, with a very active presence on social media and a monthly podcast exploring issues that matter to us all. It hopes to continue to challenge the taboo about talking about death and dying.

The Art of Dying Well is brought by the Catholic Church of England and Wales and it is asking readers with websites to incorporate a link to the Art of Dying Well site.
