About Sue Ryder
Sue Ryder is alongside people through terminal illness, death and grief, offering expert palliative and end-of-life care and bereavement support across the UK.
Like us, they believe that talking about the future and what we want to happen when we die is one of the most caring things we can do, for ourselves and for the people closest to us.
However, their research shows that 4 in 5 people haven’t discussed their last wishes with loved ones.
With over 70 years’ experience caring for people affected by terminal illness and grief, Sue Ryder is here to help you start these conversations, and to make sure people in the final years, months or days of life get the care they deserve.

Guidance and conversation starters
It’s never too early to have open conversations about care options, end-of-life wishes or funeral plans. Talking to people we love about illness and dying can feel difficult, but sharing our wishes means reassurance, confidence and comfort – for us, the people close to us, and professionals involved in our care.
Sue Ryder offers a range of expert information and compassionate advice to help people think about what matters most to them, prepare for the future, and talk to people they care about.
We all want to honour our loved ones’ final wishes. But if we never talk about them, how can we know?
Lottie Tomlinson, Angel Chi and Paul Baichoo share why talking about what matters most before the end of life can be one of the most important conversations we have.
