We had another lively and interesting gathering, 10 of us altogether. Our discussion ranged from the philosphical, beliefs about the afterlife: did we meet our loved ones, or is there nothing? Other areas were sudden death, early loss of parents, losing a younger partner and organ donation. Feedback forms showed an interest in discussing dignity in death and making plans for what you want in your own funeral.
Looking forward to March 9th's meeting.

Despair touches me every day. One reason our society is able to persist in its delusion that the suffering it creates is acceptable is that we don't allow the experience of grief, especially in the public realm. Grief needs to be held in community. ~ Charles Eisenstein
