Providing hopeful accompaniment for the human journey

Dying well means different things to us all. Death is an individual experience, but a community of accompaniment on the journey can help us to prepare by bringing consolation and spiritual peace.

An Important New Guide to Deathbed Etiquette

How prepared do you feel to be by the bedside of someone you love who is dying? It is a tough question. Sometimes too awful to even think about. Even professionals who deal with death every day can struggle when death comes to their own door. That’s why the Art of Dying Well - St Mary’s University is launching a new Guide to Deathbed Etiquette - written to help families and friends support a dying loved one.
