Belleville, IL Death Cafe





The Belleville, IL Death Cafe met on Nov 21st from 6pm and ran quite late until 10pm (normally we are done at 8pm but the meeting lasted longer than normal - expected at this time of the year as the holidays bring painful memories back to those of us who have lost loved ones). We had the privilege of having Gateway of Shadows paranormal investigators join our meeting and we once again discussed the age old question of "is there life after death" and if there is, is our loved ones safe, healthy, and at peace.

 

Evidence of some of their investigations were shown and for some of us who do believe that our loved ones sometimes come to us with messages and comforting us in our grief that they are actually always with us in spirit and if we are open to it, tell us they are at peace. For the skeptics (and it is always wise to have a healthy dose of skepticism), there was no explanation from them as to why some things occur - much like the scientific world.

 

We came to the conclusion, it is all about hope and faith and that sometimes we accept the messages and comfort for us because our grief is all about us and missing our loved one in our lives.


We will meet again on Dec 5th from 6-8pm CST. The Belleville News Democrat will be there to interview us about the Death Cafe. We hope all our participants as well as others who are curious and need a venue to talk about aspects of death and dying and learn to accept death so they may life their own lives to the fullest.
