We’re celebrating our first anniversary

It's been 12 months since we launched Go With Grace on Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead and celebrated with an intimate gathering of friends and family in Whangārei, Northland. It has been an incredible journey since then with so many wonderful connections, learnings and special moments.

Go With Grace launch in November 2023. Everyone contributed to a Day of the Dead altar and lit a candle of remembrance for a loved one.

Thank you for your support

This journey has been made possible through the advice and support of many wonderful individuals and organisations. We would like to specifically acknowledge Henderson Reeves, lawyers in Whangārei and Auckland and North Haven Hospice in Whangārei for the invaluable contribution of expert knowledge, guidance and support from their respective teams to both the website and Dying Matters Week events.

We’re especially grateful to the National Libraries Association for creating safe and supportive spaces for important conversations during Dying Matters Week and to New Zealand End of Life Doulas, Honohono Tātou Katoa and Hospices around New Zealand that helped to help bring this important new national event to life.

Dia de los Muertos - the Days of the Dead festival

This healing festival, that is a time to remember friends and family who have died, can last three days.

During these days people talk to the dead. They bring them up to speed on what is happening in their lives. They can speak from their heart about the way they may have been wronged by the person who is dead, or about how they are missed. It is a way to work through old problems and to feel a deeper connection to one’s lineage.
