On November 16 we had in attendance 6 people who were very interested in talking about and sharing their personal expereinces concerning death.  There is a lot of curiosity out there about this subject - one which many of us have been taught not to talk too much about.  However, our group demonstrated that given the opportunity and a truly safe place to talk about it and lots of feelings, thoughts and emotions will come out.  I am looking forward to our next Cafe to be held on December 14 in the same location.
