Last 5th November we celebrated the 13th Death Cafe in Zarautz. 12 people took part in it: 11 women and one man. We talked about the following issues:
Adults are afraid to talk about illness and death to children and they hide these to them. Is it necessary to educate them in these matters and is it even healthy to cry before them?
·In the pass (50 years ago, more or less) there was the custom of going to see dead people in our country.
·Religion gives hope to people. Those who live out of religion don’t have this support.
·Two women had the experience to accompany ...

This was my first Death Cafe and the first one in Pt Townsend, that I'm aware of!!
10 women showed up and we talked. The conversation tended more toward practical stuff around death than feelings....but that's where it went this time. Everyone is excited to have a Death Cafe to go to and want to do it monthly!

We met at a new venue this time. As summer approaches, the gorgeous beach front cafe we used to meet at could no longer assure us of a table so we opted for one at the racecourse that could. Perhaps because of the change of venue, or the glorious weather, only four people came. However, having just a few of us meant that each person had lots of time to talk which was wonderful. We spoke about so many things including whether its "normal" to think about death every day; the treasured objects that remind us of dead loved ones; how one can continues to live a full ...

Ten of us met at a Café and spoke about death generally as individuals. However, interestingly, at this Death Cafe, we also spoke about the death of humankind. Perhaps this was because almost half of the group were young – in their late teens or early twenties, and in the context of Youth’s vocal concern globally about climate change, biodiversity loss, and the risk of social and ecological collapse. Several of the young people who came had no interest in matters relating to death; they were simply accompanying their friend who had. However, over the course of the evening, all of them had experiences to share and views ...

New Blog post: Starting a Death Cafe in Rutland VT
Posted by NL Sobotka on Oct. 28, 2019, 6:29 p.m.
I just completed the UVM certificate End Of Life Doula program and hoping to orgranize a monthly Death Cafe in Rutland, VT, my hometown.
I would love a little direction, maybe a EOL Doula/Death Cafe mentor, to guide me as to organizing a successful Death Cafe...and the pitfalls to avoid.
Please if anyone can offer some guidance/mentorship I'd be most apprecative. Thank you.

Hello Death Positive People! Thank you to those who joined in the October 9th Death Cafe – Hillsborough (DC-H) which included our *One Year Anniversary* complete with a delicious vegan chocolate cake from the local coop!

First, a summary of key points we discussed, including links for your further exploration. • Gratitude was expressed ...
