What brings you to Death Cafe?
I attended Canada's first death cafe in Victoria, BC. The format and the concept is a wonderful way to talk about dying and how we would choose to die.

This fifth in our current series of Death Cafes in the Comox Seniors Centre was held on the afternoon after yet another unusual (for the Comox Valley) snowfall.

This Death Cafe was the sixth in the Comox Valley in 2016; the third one to be held in our new location on the lower floor of the Comox Seniors Centre. All present found the venue to be quiet and comfortable. Or at least it was quiet until conversations among the participants seated in groups of four around 4 tables became animated, with occasional shared laughter.
This was on of the largest turnouts to date, and some "regulars" helped us to welcome the many newcomers. Coffee, tea and cookies were available on a "help yourself" basis, and this worked well. Topics ranged from discussion of Canada's recently ...

At the first session, held in September, we welcomed 9 participants. After introductions, including some hisory of Death Cafes, a group conversation took place that raised lots of issues, and more than ...
