Why do we need Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief?

Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief believes that currently in Scotland, various problems are caused because:

• People are unprepared for the experiences of death, dying and bereavement
• Communities are disempowered from providing support to the dying and the bereaved
• Health and social care professionals are unprepared for death-related discussions

We believe that many of these problems can be solved by raising public awareness of ways of dealing with death, dying and bereavement and promoting community involvement in death, dying and bereavement.
