An Online Death Cafe
About this Death Cafe
This Death Café is an opportunity for older adults to engage in conversations that honor their life's experiences and invite meaningful reflections on the transitions of aging and mortality.
This event is intended to increase participants' awareness of death, and explore our relationships with dying, death, loss and grief. As we grapple with what life looks like today, having a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about difficult subjects is so important and can have a significant impact both on how we live and how we die.
About Crystal
Crystal Bernard works full time for her local municipality in the Recreation Services. In 2021 she found herself working for a respite center which ignited a new passion and she turned her focus to supporting people in need of grief support. She took a course at Queens in psychology and enrolled in the Death Doula Program with HHA. Growing up on a hobby farm in a rural area, death was part of life. As a young child she would sit with animals in their last breath. As a teenager she would support friends and neighbours when loved ones were lost. As grown adult she would sit bedside as loved ones left the living world. Crystal has lived experience with grief in various forms and losses. She has a caring soul that is seen by many, and she looks forward to supporting others on their grief journeys.
