About Oxford Death Cafe:
I trained with the Natural Death Centre as and with Green Fuse as a funeral celebrant; am a Soul Midwife and was a Volunteer at Sobell House Hospice in Oxford. I have been running "Let's Talk about Death and Dying" in Oxford since 2017, and recently joined the Oxford Companion Voices Group which trains volunteers to sing to the dying. Over many years I have accompanied a number of friends and relatives living with Life-Threatening Illness until their death and beyond.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I feel that my experience could be helpful to a wider audience and admire the worlk Death Cafes have been doing for a long time.
What would you like your legacy to be?
Making death and dying more part of living well.
Thoughts for sharing:
Familiarity wiith death and dying helps us live better.
