Love well, live well, leave well
Chiltern Compass aims to support the local community across the Chilterns in talking about dying and end of life planning. We hope to raise awareness and offer support that talking about dying is a positive and helpful process at any stage of life. Having that conversation can be one of the most loving things you can do for yourself or those close to you.
It’s easy to put off planning for later life, and many people find it daunting or fearful. Talking about dying does not bring it any closer, but taking practical steps can help alleviate feelings of burden and uncertainty and allow you to live life in the present and more fully. We can help provide a direction that suits you.
Where and how do I start?
Remember it’s what matters to you that’s important, this should be your guiding star. Take a look at our guidance questions, get in touch about of community events or purchase/free download our workbooks. We aim to provide a resource for planning for what may lie ahead, how to approach admin involved, and coping with bereavement.
Your bucket list
Having prepared for dying, we must also live the rest of our lives in as happy and fulfilling way as we can, be the time short or long. Extend your life by healthy living: eat well, take regular exercise, enjoy the company of others, take alcohol moderately, stimulate and use your brain and memory by reading, doing puzzles and learning something new, maybe take a trip if you can. Even if you are disabled you will still be able to do many of these things.
