“We need more honesty about the realities of grief. It doesn't romanticise aged care or pretend support is easy to implement. But it does point to something better, something that is needed. And that's a system where people feel held, not just managed. A system where grief is anticipated, not ignored or steeped in silence.
We're grateful this conversation is being had because it's long overdue. And we hope it's just the beginning.”
