Good Life,
Good Death, Good Grief brings together people and organisations that are
interested in improving people’s experiences of death, dying and bereavement in
Scotland.
We are
particularly focused on enabling communities and individuals to support each
other through the hard times that can come with death, dying and bereavement.
We believe it
is important to be prepared for illness and death – there are some practical
steps that everyone can take to increase their chances of receiving the support
they’d hope for towards the end of life.
Good Life,
Good Death, Good Grief is an alliance, and anyone who shares our vision can join
free of charge.
Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief is an initiative of the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care.
