There was a line out the door. We had to ask neighbor businesses to accommodate overflow parking. 49 people gathered in 3 of our group rooms at The Respite and rich discussion and small miracles took place. Like a friend,recently a widower, who read the article about the cafe and was compelled to come. We had funeral directors and a rep for Compassion and Care. There are topics that gather us together and transcend all political, religious, and other differences. Death is one such topic. Thanks to Jon and Lizzy for your support. Next Death Cafe at Respite Dec 11 7pm to 9pm. See you then. Lyndall ...

Despite wind, sleet, and Chicago's ever-present road construction, 15 lively folks attended our first Death Cafe! Held at the lovely and welcoming Be Optimal Holistic Health Center in Glenview and fortified by tea and skull cookies, our guests actively participated in small and large group discussions. Evaluation results indicated high levels of satisfaction with the structure, content, facilitation, and, most of all, the opportunity to discuss death with like-minded people. Words used most often to describe guests' Death Cafe experience were comfortable, thought-provoking, open, friendly, and healing. We can't wait to do it again!

On a drizzly Saturday afternoon about 30 souls gathered at Theo’s Coffee Shop & Cozmic Pizza to talk about death. Separating into groups of 4 or 5 we sat around small round tables with open minds and hearts. Starting with an appetizer of: “Why are you here today, what intrigued you about this forum”, diners were then able to choose from an assortment of entrees including: “why is death feared and not discussed in American society”, “What happens when you die”, and “What role does death play in living?”. After what appeared to be an intense, engaging and enjoyable 2-hour meal of conversation and discussion surrounding death, dying ...
