What brings you to Death Cafe?

To normalize the conversation around death and dying in my local community


What would you like your legacy to be?

That I was brave enough to speak my truth and always question the status quo.  


Thoughts for sharing:

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
― Mark Twain
