Choosing a profile name can often be time consuming. Maybe something calculated, or just the first thing that comes to mind. First that came to me was PotatoCakes. Random and spontaneous, but odd and I'm not sure why my brain came up with that. But a name extreme may ...
“The grass withers; the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers; the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isaiah 40:7-8).
We are grass. We wither and fade away. We will die.

Who gets everything you own when you die? My wife.
How will your wife survive after you’re dead? Her memories, her friends, her investments and her part-time job.
How will you manage your suffering when you are dying? My wife's bedside comfort and perhaps a dose or two ...
Hello! I am new here, with the suggestion from my therapist.
I am often consumed with intrusive thoughts about family members/friends dying, and often fear my own death. These are my thoughts 24/7 and totally consume me. No words can describe how it makes me feel - and will ...
How harmful is the taboo around death that prevents us from preparing to it and properly dealing with its aftermaths? How hurtful is the way our bereavement is dismissed?
We are left with few to no tools to face the huge emotional burden that comes with the loss of a ...
Hi everyone, I am a 21 years old girl from Italy and I am a designer.
I've been attending death cafès because of my mother's death one year and a half ago, and I have decided to do something about it, about the way we grief: without ...
I find I cannot choose what I believe; some things strike me as believable and others not. The world presents its own truths, and I have integrity to the extent that my beliefs align with these truths and honesty to the extent that I openly avow them.
I cannot accept ...

Although your pet might seem full of life right now, one day they will die. Their eyes will lose their sparkle, their tail will grow still, and their life will slip away. Losing your pet can seem unbearably painful, but it’s something you need to prepare yourself for if ...
Hello! I am a Doaa and I love to talk about “death” from all angles and "point of views"! Death is a rich topic that raises a lot of different opinions and "fears"! One of the most interesting things, neuroscientifly speaking, is that about our "survival" mechanism! We, as a ...
Now more than ever we are aware of how easily life can change. The Pandemic has taught us many things and thrown us in urgent discussions around death and dying that we probably never thought we would. Most of you probably think you get it, you understand it, you know ...
Dear all,
I hope you are well.
After 9 years of Death Cafes I have decided it is time for me to step back.
