Excellent short clip from @goodgrieftrust of Greg Wise challenging us to think and talk about ‘what a good death is’. https://t.co/zyYfqBv8dc Very thought provoking and helpful. Facing our fear of death is a vital step towards #ageing positively.

Great piece by @AlzResearchUK emphasising that #dementia is NOT an inevitable part of #ageing

Good point well made by @MervChangeAGEnt
Yesterday @AWOCUK webinar I thought abt the brilliant Report of @EndLonelinessUK on the #PsychologyofLoneliness. Why? Because narratives around #awoc often ignore why there is such a reluctance to confront the myths & stereotypes of childlessness & loss. This applies to funders

Loss of ‘will to live’, very worrying to hear about in care homes. https://t.co/9bXsHKv2xL Psychgological impact of #COVID19 on later life is in need of much better attention. Research shows how underming of ‘will to live’ shortens life. Link to #ageism. Thoughts affect health

Point well made about compassionate #ageism by @csfoot. We need to resist all the divisive pressures that are appearing with #Covid.
��There is such a thing as compassionate ageism – that you can think you’re being kind but patronise people and limit their humanity." Our Director of Evidence @csfoot is quoted in this piece from the @guardian about intergenerational tension. https://t.co/sv8xxHXg9l
