Sue Brayne originally trained as a nurse. She has an MA in the Rhetoric and Rituals of Death (King Alfreds, Winchester), a second MA in Creative Writing (Oxford Brookes) and a PGCE in adult education. For many years she worked at a therapist, specialising in trauma, end of life issues, bereavement and grief. Led by neuropsychiatrist Dr Peter Fenwick, she was an honorary researcher into a five-year retrospective study on end-of-life experiences and is the author of The D-Word: talking about dying, Sex, Meaning and the Menopause, and co-author of Nearing the End of Life: a guide for relatives, friends and carers.
Currently, Sue runs pop-up Death Cafes, workshops, retreats and training programmes which address end-of life-issues and our relationship with mortality.
