Reflections about today's Death Cafe by a first-time participant


A write up of Death Cafe - Sydney

By April Lewis




 

We know Death is an inevitable part of life yet we try to pretend that it won’t happen to us, why is it that we ignore the inevitability of this and don’t discuss it openly, are we hoping it will go away and not be realised.
To be in a space purposefully to talk about death and the feelings
surrounding it stimulated a range of emotions and thoughts, the most profound for me was the simple fact no matter what colour, creed or culture we are, we are all subject to it. How we process it as individuals differs
but it is the one absolute commonality we share.

Thank you April for making this forum available so expression can take
place. Veronica, Maurice and I appreciated being in the very good company of
the Death Café attendees today.

Regards
Jaclyn
