A Chat About Death
A write up of Death Cafe Grants Pass OR
By grantspass
OK, it's not the normal conversation you'd expect to have over dessert, but the taboo topic at dinner parties, family gatherings and hospital bedsides, is the main item on the agenda at Death Café Grants Pass.
People often can't talk to their spouses or families about it, so the idea is to create an environment where talking about death is natural and comfortable. Some talk about being ready for death or explore the practical things such as advanced directives, funeral arrangements, etc. Others look at the spiritual side of what happens after death.
There is no agenda other than that of the participants. It is a discussion group, rather than a grief or counseling group. A donation of $5 is suggested, but not required.
We meet the third Thursday of each month from 7:00-8:30 PM. Registration is required. If you are interested, please register at deathcafe.grantspass@gmail.com or contact Trish at (541) 862-2377 for further information.
