A write up of Death Cafe Loughborough
By evsilver
We were fully booked, and even had a waiting list. There were 22 people present, including two other facilitators and myself.
‘It’s great to have time to ponder my thoughts and feelings about death and to listen to others’ experiences’
‘Thought provoking, reassuring, exciting, I’ll definitely come to another’
‘So wonderful to have the chance to start talking and listening about death - more of it!’
‘Reassuring in the universal diversity of experience’
‘Delightful group of people with a real willingness to share and openness to hear each other’
‘It has been excellent. I have really enjoyed the company, conversation and subject. It added to my knowledge and it was highly enjoyable.’
‘A beginning of a conversation: useful to open a door that I keep pretty closed’
‘Excellent, enjoyable and invigorating’
I have loved this, thank you so much. I often feel quite out of place in society because of my attitude towards death. It has been fantastic to meet some like-minded people.
‘Reinforcing ideas that have been barely discussed, and to some extent normalising them.’
‘Friendely, informative, unafraid’
‘Thought provoking, friendly, supportive’
‘It felt that we made a good start and that there is so much more scope for further discussion.’
And comments on the Facebook event afterwards:
Well done Evelyn Silver - fascinating! So glad I went!
an excellent event...and lovely cakes
Great event Evelyn Silver - lots of food for thought - and lovely cakes too!
Thanks for a great evening of conversation, warmth, welcome, laughter and a few teary moments as we shared our stories and thoughts (and delicious cakes, of course).
