I wish the author had credited Jon and Lizzy as well but I thought this was a lovely article other than that omission. The journalist covers our last Marin Death Cafe and then writes poignently about her own grief journey through the death of her beloved husband.

Last evening we had our second Marin Death Cafe with 28 people RSVPing and 17 people attending. Needless to say, we had way too much cake! :)
Once again, feedback was how struck people were with how immediately everyone moved into talking about very real experiences they had had around death and dying. They shared stories about near death experiences, deaths of longtime spouses, deaths of children, fear of dying, not fear of dying, and existential questions about life's meaning or what I call "What's it all about Alfie?" questions.
A particularly moving conversation was about the meaing and close experiences people had had with wild birds ...

Last night, I was so very privileged to host my first Death Cafe in Marin at the San Anselmo Interfaith Counseling Center.
We had 23 participants - mostly strangers to each other - who dove right in to sharing their deep and authentic stories, truths, courage and humor.
