Saying Goodbye

According to the author Terry Pratchett, no one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away. In this digital age, that might be a long time. This issue of the WYD newsletter looks at some of the many ways we say goodbye. We peek into our potential digital afterlife, the footprint we leave on social media platforms; share insights from Death Midwife Olivia Bareham about the power of ritual to help us say goodbye; and how to talk to children about death.
