Montpelier Death Cafe
A write up of Montpelier Death Cafe
By ellenfein
19 people showed up for our event on a very frigid Vermont evening. There were a remarkable range of opinions and interests raised that included: death with dignity; incorporating children into the dying and death ritual process: suicide; the isolation of grieving; preparing for death and rituals for dying; what comes next/life beyond death.
It seems as if the simple fact of permission to have this conversation in the company of others (many of whom were strangers when we met) was affirming and seemed like just the beginning or introduction of something that might deepen and grow.

I love this! Thanks for sharing. This shows what the beauty of the Death Cafe is! People have so much on their mind when they show up and need that open and safe place to come and talk about whatever is on their mind. Great job! <3 Megan
