Hello fellow mortals!
Thank you to the 25 people who were able to brave the heat and joined our death discussions during the August Death Café – Hillsborough (DC-H). Welcome to the *10* new folx! It felt so good to see you all “live and in person” for the first time in 17 months. Can you believe that a regular Zoom attendee drove nearly 400 miles from another state with her daughter so they could meet us in person?! Anne gifted attendees decorated hand fans, complete with a choice of optional sugar skull stickers and, wow, did those fans come in handy as we conversed in the warm shade ...

Thank you to those who delved and dipped into our death discussions during the March Death Café – Hillsborough (DC-H) Zoom call! Welcome to the eleven (!) new folx! Zoom offers a different dynamic from meeting in person and allows people to participate from long distances such as, this time, New York, Illinois, Florida, Washington, and even Vancouver, Canada. It was wonderful having four university students join in as part of their Death, Dying, and Bereavement courses. One of them kindly emailed afterward, “I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed attending my first Death Cafe. It was so interesting hearing other people’s ...

Hello everyone,
**Mark your calendars for the next DC-Hillsborough November 11th, 6pm-8pm, via Zoom meeting. For those looking ahead and whomever may wish to know this now, DC-H will not occur in December and will resume in January (the 13th).
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this summary; some of these need more preparation time. For two reasons I re-read the guidelines on https://deathcafe.com/ for hosting and facilitating a DC. One is because DC-Hillsborough just celebrated two years and I thought it responsible to continue ensuring my facilitation skills stay on par (at last year’s 1st anniversary, I asked for DC.com evaluation forms ...

We packed it with information and learned new things! Using Zoom has changed our dynamic yet it also allowed some new people from far away places to join us!
There has been a marked increase in “Virtual Death Cafés” worldwide! This is not only due to the fact we can’t meet in person but also because more people are seriously contemplating their mortality and thus are more willing to discuss death and dying. Information ...

Below is a brief summary about our third event (different subjects marked with an ‘*’), followed by details about the next DC-H on 01/09/2019.
*We each participated in providing two or three words that describe our attitude about death. They included the following: open, accepting, curious, prepared, reluctant, ambivalent, respect, community, and “FOMA” fear of missing out (on what happens in the world you lived in ...
