🕊 Dying Matters Week at Whangārei Central Library 🕊
Monday 1 September to Friday 5 September 2025
As part of the nationwide event, Go with Grace has organised a thoughtful series of events focused on dying, grief and end-of-life care at the library.
These talks, activities and resources give our community a safe and supportive space to start important conversations, learn from experts and feel confident about making plans that bring peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones.
Visit our Departure Lounge — a place to browse helpful books, discover resources and connect with others.
All events are free, but as spaces are limited, please register your interest.
