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.

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.

It was a small and intimate gathering, with one person attending her first Death Cafe. We discussed recent losses, and how loved ones can really organize to be part of the death, which is meaninful for all. And how Zoom helps for those far away. We also discussed the aging process, our own mortality and shared our bucket lists.
