About this Death Cafe
Let's Have Coffee and Talk About Death
Hello, my name is Amelia Carroll from Sacred Spirit Passages and I think talking about death is a great way to spend some time. Join me at the relaxing and inviting home of a Poulsbo neighbor and friend where we will share respectful and provocative conversation about death and dying in a safe, non-judgmental environment. What better way to spend some time on Halloween!
With 75% of Americans saying they would prefer to die at home yet only 25% actually do and the vast majority of bankruptcies result from end-of-life medical costs, is talking about death and how we want to die the most important and costly conversation America is not having? Have these issues impacted your life or the life of someone you know? Bring your thoughts and stories and join me on October 31st in Poulsbo and Let's Have Coffee and Talk About Death.
