Genevieve and Jim opened this Death Cafe. 13 participants from USA and Canada. Discussion included life after life, "near death experiences," presence of spirits and angels, grief, comfort with our mortality. Speaking and listening was most of our time. And a fair amount of time silently present. Wrap up included a song titled "What the world needs now is love sweet love" feeling gratitude, and appreciation for our time together. We will meet again 4th Sunday in April. Check for Virtual Death Cafe Albany on https://www.eventbrite.com/

Seven people attended the cafe in our great community space, from an initial list of 12 on the booking. We had explanations from almost all the no shows, who will book on one of the others this year.
There were fresh flowers on all the tables, which welcomed people into the room. We all sat around one table.
Everyone contributed and stayed the full two hours, despite one person saying they woudl 'just listen' and the other that they would not stay for the duration.
One person was deep in grief, but wanted to be there, and spoke eloquently and movingly.
Some else quoted a beautiful extract from ...

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.

What brings me to hosting a Death Café is a deep belief that avoiding conversations about death often causes more fear, confusion, and pain than the topic itself. I’ve ...

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.
