Free to Use and Share Resource (Infographic)

Overview

Our new infographic ‘Communication Technologies and Being Bereaved’ is free to use, download and share. It is being released ahead of the UK’s National Grief Awareness Week and can be printed and used online and offline both during and after this time.

Why this resource is important

The majority of those who die in the UK have not made any plans for their digital lives. The resource has been developed to help assist the bereaved. It is especially relevant when plans for a loved one’s online life were not shared before they died. It visualises key grief theories and provides a list of ‘things to do’ from a technology perspective after a loved one has died. Datasets are displayed to highlight some of ways in which communication technologies are now being used by the bereaved. At the bottom of the resource, links to technology and bereavement tutorials are provided.

The resource below is not time sensitive and can be utilised when supporting your communities at anytime.

It has been published as ‘Open Access’ / ‘Creative Commons’ for the widest possible reach and impact.
