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:

·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 ...

We met 13 people, 9 women and 4 men. It was the first time for some of them, others repeated the experience. All of them came ready to hear and share their experiences about death.
A man shared with the attendees a near death experience he lived 12 years ago. Nevertheless most of the stories are related with mourning experiences. They invite us to live the present moment with more consciousness and to take an active role in our lives, instead a victim.

They said than ...

It was the fifth time we offered the opportunity to join around a coffee to speak about death. 13 people participated in it, only two of them men.

· The value of a hug
· The role of Church, the soul, the spirit, the reincarnation, the acceptation

In this fourth edition in our city 17 people attended to the invitation. As in previous opportunities, most of them were women (13).
Some different approaches about death appeared:
· No acceptance: incomprehension of death, rejection to loss, “I don’t want to think”, “I don’t want to die”.

· Positivity: illness as a learning tool, for opening, for developing the willingness to live thoroughly without so many limitations.
· Hope: near death experiences, the belief that there ...
