Death Cafe profile for Heather Black
Location: United States
About Heather Black:
I am a hospice nurse and a member of the death positive community. I am interested in fostering more open communication about death to allow people to engage without fear and live life openly with understanding of this natural progression.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I was introduced to the Death Positive community by the owner of our local green burial cemetary, Eloise Woods a year and a half ago. In becoming involved with The Order of the Good Death and Death Salon, I was naturally interested in Death Cafe. Exposed to death, as I am, being a hospice nurse, I value the opportunity to speak with others about the all encompassing aspects of death. And I love cake.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I'd like to have made one more person less afraid of death. In my view, we miss so many opportunites beauase of our fear of death. It is natural and happens to eveyone. I want to make that reality easier for anyone and everyone I can.

Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe Austin - North
Posted by Heather Black on June 27, 2017, 3:35 p.m.
In the last meeting we talked more about avoiding death, and why we need to die. We had some healthcare professionals that talked about disease and the tragedy of dying of some that are very avoidable. We meandered over a number of different topics.

I want to past the details for my second Death Cafe. The only place I can find to do that is on the "Host a Death Cafe" form. I thought that was for craeting it the first time. Or, do I just change the address every month? - Heather Austin North

We had a diverse crowd, of approximately 12 people, attend the first Austin Death Cafe - North meeting at Monkey Nest Cafe. There were a number of "industry" people; hospice chaplains, hospice nurses, green funeral directors and green funeral alliance members. We had people that wanted to talk about how people feel about death and those that shared their experiences with death. Our first meeting seemed to lean towards the technical, but there is only so much "You should request a LOT of death certificates" logistic information that can be shared. Our next meeting will be June 4th at 3pm, Monkey Nest on Burnet.
