Death Cafe Links and News Page
Following the loss of a childhood friend, Evie is on a quest to find the meaning of life and leave behind a legacy before she turns 23. It seems simple enough until spending the morning at her cousin's Death Cafe leaves her wondering if life and death might not be so simple after all. Any Day Now is a poignant and comedic one-person show exploring thanataphobia (fear of dying) and how to share humour, humility, and empathy with those facing a shortened life.
I've started a podcast! One of these is an interveiw with Death Cafe facilitator Donna Stein Harris. Hope you enjoy.

This is a sensitive subject and the following lines are expressed with respect and care.
I'm working for a globally published author, who is writing her new book about how to live a meaningful life, but specifically from the perspectives of people who currently have or who have had a relationship with death.
We believe this perspective is infinitely valuable when it comes to teaching people how to truly live.
With this post, I'm looking for anyone who has faced end of life and is open to answer a few questions around it in order to contribute to a powerful resource for people on how to live life to the fullest.
By contributing, a framework of advice for people can be crafted regarding living a fulfilling life.
No personal details will be shared in the book, neither do we need your name, you can stay completely anonymous.
What the author is looking to do is to take the valuable insight that are shared and convert it into advice for people to live by.
So even though we seek insights from people who have faced end of life, the questions and book center around how to live a fulfilling life.
Some questions, as an example, are: How has your experience changed your perspective on life? What do you wish you would have known or learned sooner? What makes life worth living?
If you're open to looking at the questions that we crafted for contributors to answer, please folloe the link above to the questionnaire.
If hou have any questions, please reach out to me any time.
Thank you so much.
Cora

As a sub-project within the Nonreligion in a Complex Future project, we seek to gain a better understanding of the Death Café movement, and how people discuss and share their outlooks on death and dying through these events.
We are seeking to conduct group interviews with people who have previously attended a Death Café.
Group interviews will take place over Zoom technology, be conducted in English, and last for approximately 40 to 60 minutes. Interviews will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for roughly 6-8 participants. Participation is voluntary and there is no compensation. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Please see the poster attached for ...
- complete first survey (10-15mins)
- do the intervention in one week, starting with a writing exercise in the first day and reflecting on that on the following days. (total ~1 hour during one week)
- complete the second survey (10-15mins)
Hi everyone, I am a 21 years old girl from Italy, and I've organized this workshop because I have lost my mom and decided to do something about it, about the way we grief in our system the way it is now.

WhenYouDie.org - All things death and dying
Posted by WhenYouDie on April 21, 2022, 12:31 p.m. 1 comment
WhenYouDie.org is a wonderful resource for all things death and dying. There are podcasts, stories, articles, and a documentary series focused on what happens when you die. The first film in the series, In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, asks the big question: Does consciousness continue after death, or is it lights out?
As we all know, exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death. The When You Die team believes talking about death isn’t dangerous but, conversely, can nurture happier, healthier individuals and families ...

Wohin mit der Trauer, wenn man sich als Angehöriger nicht verabschieden konnte?
YET TO SAY :“Was ich dir noch sagen wollte…“
Das Kunstprojekt ´Covijo- 99´ beschäftige sich mit dieser und anderen Fragen.
Es möchte hier den Raum für diese letzten Worte bieten.

Wem es lieber ist, kann mir die Worte schreiben (ebenfalls als private Nachricht) und wir werden die Nachrichten mit Schauspielern aufnehmen.

Leave a commentHonouring someone if you are unable to attend their funeral
Posted by Rebecca Byatt on April 7, 2021, 8:03 a.m.
Covid 19 has meant that there have been times over the past year when attending a loved ones funeral was not allowed, due to local or national lockdown restrictions. Restrictions concerning the amount of guests allowed to attend funerals and travel restictions still stand. However, even without being present at the funeral there are different ways that you can honor and remember the deceased.
