cupcakes in the day
A write up of Providence Death Cafe
The cupcakes match the new color of the room and we settled down to have a chat about all things death and dying. Gracing us as always our companion from death row with news of his 3 year reprieve, which led into a further discussion of learning to recognize our own reprieves that often happen in less dramatic ways. Much was said of the new found willingness of society to talk about death, and we discussed the peculiar grief that comes with fulfilling an advanced directive and the use of palliative sedation in the last moments. We then talked about the quality of the stars in the skies after a passing and wondered about the where and all.
