About this Death Cafe

I already facilitate evening dinners called “Let’s Talk About Death Over Dinner” on a monthly basis. This will be my first Death Café, and it is at the invitation of Palliative Geneva and Cancer Support Switzerland that I am facilitating this one. We will be in the beautiful Chateau where CASS is based and will work with whatever topics participants bring. We will have time for Aperos after the formal close at 19h30. The session will be held in English, to suit Geneva’s significant international community. I look forward to seeing you there.

About Emma Pearson

Emma is a Brit who has been living in France, just outside Geneva, for the past 25 years. She grew up in Brussels in the 1970s and 1980s then headed to the UK for university studies, specialising in organisational psychology - a field she still loves and works in as an independent practitioner.

Between 2015 and 2019 Emma had a series of four significant losses - starting with her best male friend, Don; then her youngest brother, Edward; then her husband, Mike; and then their youngest child, Julia.

It's been a lot. Too much. And yet the world keeps spinning and somehow life carries on. There is much to live for and much to enjoy about life. Emma still has her two surviving children, now young adults. There is a lovely new man in her life who goes by the name of Medjool (dates!) And at the time of writing, still has both parents, now in their mid-80s.
