Our final City of Roses Death Cafe of 2024 had 19 participants divided between three tables.
One table discussed the challenges of living with a terminal cancer diagnosis including deciding whether the benefits of life extending maintenance chemotherapy outweighed the physical consequences (quantity or quality of life?), the difficulty of discussing one's diagnosis and its implications with family and friends, and responding to hurtful, but well-intentioned responses ("I had a friend who had that cancer and they . . . ") We also discussed living with grief when a sibling dies. Stephen Jenkinson's Die Wise was came up more than once.
Another table’s discussion centered a lot about feelings ...

Today was a small group of 4, and no co-facilitator – I was flying solo! I was pleased to see a few people who returned for more Death Café as we delved deeper into some familiar topics such as how to handle grief and the compounding grief of dealing with the health system. It was a tender chat and a memorable meeting, and the last of 2024.
