About Gaye Dimmick:
I have a very colorful background in physical theatre and music.I also dabble in writing...mostly essays about the spiritual life,little musical ditties, and occasionally crazy quotations about Halloween! For the last 18 years I have worked with folks who are severely disabled and are medically fragile. Many don't live past early adulthood;yet they live happily and with great dignity.They are a spiritual inspiration to me.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
One day I realized that I had spent a good portion of my life focused on the death of my father whom I lost at a young age....and I was not living my own life.
Working through grief and healing,grace and forgiveness, I began to truly desire to live life,openly,honestly and fully.
Death Cafe helps me do just that...in talking about death, I live life in a way I have not experienced before.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I would simply like to make a difference in the way people connect to life and death.
I would like to know that for some, I stirred up that profound connection to the Divine and to love.
Thoughts for sharing:
"I go to seek a Great Perhaps"

There was a line out the door. We had to ask neighbor businesses to accommodate overflow parking. 49 people gathered in 3 of our group rooms at The Respite and rich discussion and small miracles took place. Like a friend,recently a widower, who read the article about the cafe and was compelled to come. We had funeral directors and a rep for Compassion and Care. There are topics that gather us together and transcend all political, religious, and other differences. Death is one such topic. Thanks to Jon and Lizzy for your support.
