Our second Thursday cafe was delightful. We had 16 attendees in two rooms with a good demographic mix. The conversation today centered around spiritual issues. People discussed their current feelings about spiritual matters and how their life journey brought them to this place. We also discussed how faith and spirituality impacts our approach to death and dying. There were many heartwarming stories and deep sharing. We also spent some time discussing psychedelics and end of life preparations. Excellent cafe.

The primary objective was simply to get the conversation started with a focus on the Hispanic community in Jacksonville, Florida, I am grateful for the strength and guidance that helped kickstart the conversation. A heartfelt thank you to the friends and family who supported my very first meeting. I look forward to many more and while I know the journey ahead will be challenging, I am excited about the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

Posted by JELLA JOST on March 9, 2025, 5:03 p.m.
Ich schreibe auf Deutsch, es ist leichter für mich, die meisten Besucher und Besucherinnen bei uns in Wien sprechen Deutsch. Vorletztes und letztes Mal war das (Haupt-) Thema Sterbehilfe. Eine Besucherin bekannt von ihren Erfahrungenausführlich zu erzähle: die Prozedur, dü Hindernisse, die Bedenken, der Prozess dahin ihrer Freundin, die nach schwerstkranken Jahren diese Entscheidung treffen konnte und damit glücklich war. Mich hat das Thema bis heute noch beschäftigt und hat Auswirkungen und macht mich in irgendeiner unaussprechlichen und unerklärbaren Weise auch froh, dass schwerstes Leid, Schmerzen, unheilbare Krankheit, totale Abhängigkeit von anderen, völliger Verlust von Autonomie, dass ein sterbender Mensch ...
