Chestermere Death Cafe
A write up of Chestermere Death Cafe
We recently hosted our first Death Cafe in our city and had 11 people attend, despite the freezing temperatures outside.
Some of the people even came from a different city to join in. Many of which were grateful to have a space where an open and honest conversation about death and life could happen without judgement or fear of speaking of such a taboo topic.
We touched on a variety of topics, including ways to go, how to approach family in having a conversation of what to do when their loved one passes, what we think happens when we pass and much more.
What was an hour and a half of conversation felt like 20 minutes. We also included colouring sheets that people could colour on while chatting. If we had more time, the conversations easily could have gone all night.
Upon leaving, there were many questions about when the next one would happen.
We sincerely hope to do another one, as the feedback / interest we have gotten during and after the event has been so wonderful and supportive.
