About this Death Cafe

Join host LJ Smith at Canada Water Library to discuss matters of death, dying, life and living over tea and cake in beautiful surroundings. 

Death Cafes provide an opportunity 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. They are group directed discussions of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. They are discussion groups rather than grief support or counselling sessions. They are generally life-affirming events, but sensitive discussions are of course possible so please bear this in mind. If you are struggling with grief please reach out to alternative groups eg https://www.cruse.org.uk/

Everyone is welcome, but please book a ticket in advance as there is limited space. Tickets are free to everyone. 

About Dr LJ Smith

About LJ:

I am a doctor and experienced Death Cafe host. I blog about "life, death and some stuff in between." I have seen good deaths and bad deaths in my work in the NHS. Death is something we all have in common, but often find difficult to talk about. 

Talking about death and dying outside healthcare settings is absolutely essential to improving end of life and bereavement care.

I aim to create a space where we can think about how we make living and dying well the norm. Come for tea, cake and interesting conversation.
