Death Cafe profile for Jane Ford
Location: United States
About Jane Ford:
The subject of death has interested me since childhood when my father died in 1955. In my family we were never allowed to talk about death and dying So pain was buried deep. In 1970, I discovered Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's book "On Death and Dying" and this led me on a path that I have been following since.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I attended my first Death Cafe while wintering in Tucson in 2014 and it was so inspirational. Since 1917, I have been facilitating Death Cafes in Massachusetts, both in person and on ZOOM.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I would like to be remembered as a woman who helped people find joy in all aspects of life.
Thoughts for sharing:
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Khalil Gibran
