We started our blog as we wanted to share our story of our Dads unfortunate experience and treatment in the hospital and also the legal aspects that follow once you lose someone. However, once we started it, we came to realise: We also wanted to share our experience of our loss and try to spread this awareness. We also want to break the taboo of loss of life being a possible conversation stopper….

1. Introduction/Our Story
We started our blog as we wanted to share our story of our Dads unfortunate experience and treatment in the hospital and also the legal aspects that follow once you lose someone.
However, once we started it, we came to realise:
- We also wanted to share our experience of our loss and try to spread this awareness.
- We also want to break the taboo of loss of life being a possible conversation stopper. Unintentionally awkwardness could occur as people might not know what to say or do.
This blog is a learning curve for us also as we share information, we also learn new things about the topics we post. We have also learnt there is a community of people who share experiences just as we do through various different social media platforms. Through the instagram community we’ve learnt that it’s National Grief Awareness Week. We feel this is a very important topic to cover as grieving can be a very lonely process.
We are a little late in posting this as we only just became aware of this today. Had we known of this sooner, we would have posted this at the start of the week (2nd December 2019).
