11 Women and men gathered on zoom. From West, South, South East, North East, Midwest, UK and Canada . We begin saying where we live, experiences with Death Cafe, as well as what brings us to Death Cafe. All are invited to describe what they had on their minds/hearts today. We are free to remain quiet or take space to speak from our hearts. We spoke of what to say to loved ones of person who has died, various experieces of accompanying those who are dying thru volunteerism and with family and friends. We listened respectfully, leaving room for silence and reflections.

While attendance was small again, the conversation was lively! Today, we discussed how to live when you're handling death at the same time. A new parent having to travel to spend time with a dying family member. The idea was that death is rushed and feels urgent, but life is the exact opposite and is slow and leisurely. Every second counts when you're living and it should be explored fully and let the clock of death tick on as it can't be controlled on its own.

Six of the registered persons sat around the table to talk about death, life, and other related subjects.
Their sincere, engaging energy created a memorable Death Cafe that went over the two hour mark.
Great cake, coffee, interesting people with compassionate thoughts ... that's why there've been over 22,000 Death Cafes around the world.
Death Cafes at Chapin Memorial Library are regularly slated monthly events on the:
SECOND SATURDAY and FOURTH TUESDAY.
Registrations are a must due to space and cake ordering. ;-)
You can register for the remaining February Death Cafe and the March Death Cafes, here: https://calendar.chapinlibrary.org/

I was blown away with the openness, the bravery and vulnerability of my peers (because of course, the nurse hat came off as I stepped into that space and I was just one of them). We laughed and cried and ate and drank tea and coffee (I splashed out and got them some costa sachets, and dried mango for those who didn't want cake) and gave them fidget toys and tissues so put their nerves somewhere. It was beautiful. What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon! I hope they loved it as much as me, even if I did make them cry.

We had five guests and two faciltators. We devoted much of the discussion to the practicalities of what happens when someone dies. Do you have to call a funeral home? What are the options for getting a body from home to the crematorium? What does a natural burial entail? What are the alternatives to a traditional church funeral? We all agreed in the end that if people talked more about these matters, they wouldn't seem so mysterious and they would become easier to navigate. Big gratitude for everyone who showed up and joined the conversation!

A delight to host another lively Death Cafe on Saturday (Valentines Day) and enjoy some meaningful conversations over tea and cake.
Feedback forms showed that participabts generally enjoyed their time and wished it had gone longer.
One remarked that he felt there was not enough talk about death but as I mentioned: end of life discussions are free to go where the speaker wishes and as host I seek to facilitate but not control the conversations. That said, with some big personalities in the room, it was necessary to bring the talk back to allowing the next person the opportunity to share. I usually have a timer set ...

Here’s a big secret. At Death Cafes we may talk a lot about death, but we are really talking about how to live with death in the world. We know about near death experiences, but not actual really for-a-while die and come back to tell about it, yet. The fact that there are, by default, no experts in this area is really freeing. We are free to have our own ideas, opinions, venture to share them, listen to others and try on new ideas in a safe environment. We’re all just people in process. Life in progress, go slow. It’s my favorite thing about Cafes ...
