Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe at Chapin Memorial Library

Posted by BLLLINK on July 14, 2025, 6:12 a.m.


Enhusiastic, concerned and interesting conversation filled the allocated time slot for this month's Myrtle Beach Death Cafe at Chapin Memorial Library.

Thank you everyone, the staff at Chapin Memorial Library and the 10 area residents who attended and made this gathering so meaningful.

Thank you, Jennifer, for the beautifully, terrific cake and thank you, Death Cafe participants for your stories and openness which turned our group of strangers into kindred spirits.

Our next Death Cafe will be Saturday, August 9, 2025 at the Library. Space is limited; so registration is imperative.



Death Cafe write up: Second Sunday Death Cafe Portland, OR

We had a wide-ranging cafe today. We discussed personal experiences with individuals who were dying. Fear was discussed several times from various perspectives. The dying process was of interest as was what we expect after death. Frustrations were expressed with uncommunicative relatives, health care providers, and unhelpful friends. We discussed end of life preparation and care. POLST, wills, and advanced directives were of interest to the group. We also discussed psychedelics as an end of life adjunct. The group was very engaged.
