On July 25, a lively group of six participants jumped right in talking about options at end of life and specifically Death with Dignity. We also spent time on the difference between reconciling and acceptance. Frustrated with limited support after losing a loved one, the value of other traditions was discussed, like the seven day Jewish custom of Shiva. Always learning. Always something new at these gatherings!

We were amused to discover two of us were enjoying the same novel, “The Collected Regrets of Clover,” which is centered around a Death Doula who frequents Death Cafes. Other recommended reads shared were “Being Mortal” and “Final Gifts.”

Most had never heard of a Death Café until reading about the local library's latest offering. Participants showed up out of curiosity as well as hopes to engage in conversations they've been unable to have with their loved ones. A community was quickly created as they found themselves in a safe place, and they could realize their desire to share their unspoken observations relating to death and dying and listen to the thoughts of others. Swedish death cleaning, letting go, and the phenomenon of becoming an ...
