About Bob Stoner:
We are starting a Death Café, 12-1pm, on the second Tuesday of each month from October 2022 at Pollokshaws Methodist Church G431LH in conjunction with a hot soup lunch 1130-1:30.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
A link to the spiritual, melding the stark reality of death with a fresh understanding of the spirituality. Now connected with Pushing Up The Daisies, the caring charity looking after those from their last breath to the day of burial or cremation.
What would you like your legacy to be?
Community flourishing
Thoughts for sharing:
"There are only two days with less than 24 hours in each lifetime, sitting like bookends astride our lives : one is celebrated every year, yet it is the other that makes us see living as previous." Kathryn Mannix

When you attend a meeting there is normally an agenda, something to look to agree upon. Today, everyone brought their own personal agenda, they sought to find understanding, perhaps a bit of peace. We discussed natural burial grounds and whether they offered dignity:
Did this offer sufficient dignity to their loved one if people were walking possibly over them;
but how might that compare when scattering ashes on a golf course?
We compared this with mentions from From Her to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty, wrt Japan
The Death Cafe meets again at G431LH, in the Church, between 12-1pm on Tuesday 14th February.

who would have thought that discussion would mention Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, the problems of non recyclable oasis from flowers, second hand coffins (!), how the funeral is that portal for our emotions seen when curtains close or the coffin descends, and whether we could view the cremation itself. How grief and the persons sense of humour can become entwined.
Next session Tuesday 10th January. All are welcome

To break the taboo about death, to reveal and discuss those questions we are afraid to ask
