About this Death Cafe
One of the prinicipals of Death Cafe is that no service, products, sales pitches, or ideas about what is the 'right' way or 'wrong' way to approach ideas about death be promoted, and we fully support this prinicpal.
Though the facilitator works for a hospice program, and we are hosted, graciously, by Jewish Family & Children's Services, this is not an attempt to get people into a hospcie program or to hire caregivers...this is an open conversation about death...and what is most of interest to us are your ideas, not the ideas we already have!
Please join us, and RSVP please!! We must have enought snacks, another well loved principal of Death Cafe!
About Seniors at Home, a Division of Jewish Family & Children's Services
Susan has had intimate, and professional, relationships with death for almost two decades. First caring for many friends who died in their 30s, and 40s, due to cancer and/or AIDs...then for the last 19 years as a volunteer coordinator for a hospice progam, and now as a Community Education Coordinator at Mission Hospice & Home Care in San Mateo,CA.
My hope, and the hope of my colleague, and co host, from Seniors at Home, Joan Goldner, is that every person has a chance to talk about, explore, or if they wish, develop, a relationship with death before having to come to terms with their own death, or the death of a loved one.
