Death Cafe Low Country





At South Carolina's 2nd Cafe, I was interested in trying a new venue (restaurant vs. a yoga studio) and scheduled a weekday evening, instead of a weekend afternoon. Although I requested rsvp's-only half of the participants contacted me. As a result, there was a little confusion initialy in the table arrangement.  Of the 9 attendees, 6 were " first-timers".  Both male & female & 50-75 yrs of age.  I personally felt the absence of a more varied age group.

Unfortunately, the venue was a little distracting with kitchen noise.  Nevertheless, the group was quite animated, forthcoming & opinionated!. The sharing ranged from personal funeral wishes, processing loss, wills & probate, to the afterlife.

Several books & resources were mentioned & recommended by many of the participants.

At the close, I promised an email follow-up detailing the books & resources that were discussed.  The feedback was thoughtful, describing the evening as stimulating, healthy, safe, welcoming & a reminder to "keep an open mind to different points of view".
