Dying to Know Day, also known as D2K Day, is observed every August 8th and was developed by The Groundswell Project in Australia. The day aims to facilitate conversations about death, making the topic less taboo and easing the transition from life to death. It encourages individuals and families to engage in discussions about end-of-life issues, such as funeral planning and organ donation, to ensure that loved ones are prepared and aware of each other’s wishes. Activities for Dying to Know Day may include having conversations about death with family members, creating online memorials, and making end-of-life plans. The Groundswell Project provides resources for those who wish to hold events or discussions, helping to normalize these difficult conversations.
