Summary: "This new film 'We're living well but Dying Matters', produced by CHANGE for Dying Matters and the National End of Life Care Programme, is about including people with learning difficulties in discussions around death, dying and bereavement. Like everyone else, people with learning disabilities need to be able to acknowledge their loss and mourn when someone close to them dies. They need to be included in important decisions around end of life (especially their own), be able to ask questions and have their emotional needs and dying wishes recorded. In this film, people with learning disabilities tell their stories and share their wishes to support other people with learning disabilities to become more comfortable talking about dying, death and bereavement." - PUBLISHERS WEBSITEReview: This 15 minute movie produced by CHANGE for Dying Matters Coalition and the National End of Life Care Programme, is about including people with intellectual disability in discussions around death, dying and bereavement.

The questions they consider are; How do you want to be remembered? What do you want at your funeral? And What do you need to do before you die? This resource would be useful for staff in highlighting the importance of including people with learning disabilities and in providing training on how to make such conversations accessible.

A great resource for anyone who is wanting to support people to develop an Advance Care Plan. Especially if working with a group of people on a pro-active ACP (ie while people are well). Fits really nicely with IHC's "Living well" booklet. Highly recommended.
