Dear <<First Name>>,
Have you cared for a relative who is dying? Or do you know someone who has? The mix of emotions we feel in this situation can be overwhelming, confusing, and exhausting.
Millions of people find themselves in this situation every year in the UK, and one of them is bestselling author Kate Mosse. From Labyrinth to her recent novel The City of Tears, Kate’s fiction covers history, adventure and mystery – but most recently she has turned to chronicling what it feels like to care for a sick relative.
Don’t forget that Kate will be joining Hospice UK CEO Tracey Bleakley in a conversation about her experiences on 9th September 2021, 3 - 4.15 pm – and you can join us.

Like you, we believe that sharing and talking about experiences that too often remain behind closed doors is really important. It’s good for our wellbeing, it’s good for those around us, and it’s good for society. We’d love to see you on September 9th – it’s free to register and only takes a minute or two.
Take care,
Imogen
