Feedback
Introducing the tutor, Faye Smith: After losing three family members in 3years I had to confront the processes of Death and Dying on many levels during this time.
I have had many conversations with a wide variety of people and felt that there was a need for this type of platform to help people address a lot of the issues surrounding end of life.
I come from a teaching background in Early Childhood Education and have also worked in many other areas.
Now retired I enjoy Gardening, Writing, Bee Keeping, Crafts and I am an avid reader. I hope to facilitate discussions around often taboo subjects associated with Death and Dying and the choices we have available to us.
