The first daytime Providence Death Cafe is a hit!
A write up of Providence Death Cafe
in a little red room, still so fresh it smells, with kindergarten chairs just waiting for the afternoon crowd - 6 of us gathered in the middle of the day for the daytime Providence Death Cafe in Fox Point. We were laden with hospice workers, as well as a familiar face - and of course, our guest from death row. The topics ranged about perception of age and death, meaning and awareness - and weather it was a generational awareness - or just one that comes and goes. The stories about chidlren sent off to school to tell strange tales of their homelife - that shocked and appalled as no one knew they lived above a funeral home were wonderful. And the very real and present struggle to deal with life after loss joined us too. Taken away from today was the phrase, "Loving life because you fear death isn't living life at all."
