Death Cafe write up: Dunstable Death Cafe

Posted by DunstableLibrary on Aug. 19, 2022, 3:16 a.m.

A lovely group of 7 people (including two facilitators) - we had a great time talking about various topics such as supporting a dying friend, how other people support us during bereavement, pet loss and pet therapy at the end of life. We also touched on how social media distorts our perception of death i.e. teenage suicides, or famous deaths being almost glamourized. 

Overall a very insightful conversation with positive feedback from the attendees.
