Our 6th Death Cafe
A write up of Stratford-upon-Avon Death Cafe
By glynis
Today the entire group consisted of newcomers, gathering for their first experience of a Death Cafe. And what an interesting mixture of thoughts and experiences we shared. Topics discussed were: creative ways to celebrate and remember a loved one, with special focus on keeping memories alive for young children throughout their lives; spiritual beliefs, spiritualism, experiencing the loss of a child, how we explain the complex issue of death to a child, and when to discuss this; why we find death so difficult to talk about, helpful and unhelpful responses in bereavement.
I am deeply grateful for the generous sharing of thoughts and experiences today, and look forward to our next gathering in July.
