Highcliffe Death Cafe
A write up of Highcliffe Death Cafe
By Lis Horwich
Last Highcliffe Death Café was held today for 2014, which also saw the start of our café this summer, now with an evening café too.
Today we talked about learning how to grieve, how we would find it the possible best way to deal with a most difficult situation. Most of us have not had an opportunity to grieve how we have hoped for. It took some of us several years after the death of a loved one to actually realise grieving was necessary. We were told not to cry, not to be angry, not to give a loved one a certain burial, which we have hoped for etc. These restrictions add to the grieve.
We ended our time today by wishing each other a very Happy Christmas and express how happy we are for having this group at our doorstep.
