This was a lovely gathering where we discussed everything from heaven and hell to reincarnation and pet loss. The conversation was rich and full of life. There were 6 people in attendance.

It is always amazing to me, the bravery of the people who attend my death cafe in prison, and open their souls to talk to one another.
I have taken to now being overtly neurodiverse welcome, so have fidget toys as well as refreshments and the much needed cake and tissues at hand, and I can see it does really help.
Can't wait for the next one.

Today was our first Death Cafe on the westside of Portland at the Friendly House. The turnout was excellent with two large tables facilitated by Rosalie and Scott. My table was vibrant and engaged. One guest had recently lost her husband of 43 years. She was experiencing profound grief and loneliness. She had a small family and friends group leaving her with limited support. The group rallied around her, which gave us the opportunity to talk about grief and loss. We discussed many avenues of support and the importance of accepting help. We discussed terminal care and end-of-life care options. There was a long discussion of the importance ...

This was our first Death Café event and we have been so pleased with the positive feedback we’ve received.
13 people came along and left saying they felt more connected and that they’d really appreciated the opportunity to talk about death and dying when so many people around them in their lives weren’t able to have those conversations with them.
So what did we talk about? So much – and the following gives you a flavour:
- How difficult it was to talk about planning for your own death with your children when they thought you were being morbid
- Whether you should really ‘sort out all your ...

Death Café – West Norwood
6th May 2026
Report
Around 15 people attended this DC facilitated by 3 people. Themes that emerged from the discussion included:
· The importance of place - somewhere to go and remember the person who's died. It might be a in cemetery or it can be where ashes were scattered.
· Seeing death as a continuation, not an end, following a faith tradition. There is grief but a sense of happiness knowing the person is somewhere else.
· Death anxiety as a child - needing to come to terms with mortality as a fact of life. Described fear as ‘the severest form of loneliness’. But at the ...
