It's @DyingMatters #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek and the theme is #DyingToBeHeard - we need to talk more about death.

I have a personal reason to feel strongly about this.

In 2018 my younger (and only) brother had a sudden and catastrophic heart attack at the age of 35.
He was living and working outside the UK so my mum and I had to rush to be with him. He was unconscious with no hope of meaningful recovery but because he was on life support, we were the ones who had to make the decisions about what should happen next.
It's the worst thing that has ever happened in our lives and almost all the circumstances surrounding it were horrendous (not least the unwanted attentions of nuns and the local bishop - it was a Catholic hospital, though that's another story)

But it could have been a lot worse.
