New group that is being set up in our church

We are thinking about setting up a new group to discuss death and dying matters with people with learning disabilities, what do you think of that idea please?

I think that having a group is good but why limit it to those subjects when there is so much to talk about.

Because I had trouble with the hospital when my husband was dying of bowel cancer and I thought that people with learning disabilities might have the same problem.

A few years ago the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities did some work around spirituality. They published a number of resources which you may find useful. I’ve attached a couple I had to hand here. If you search the Foundation’s website there may be some other resources available.

I think it’s a really good idea. It’s nice to see the church promoting the inclusion of people. Good luck
