About Betsy Trapasso:
I am an end of life guide and advocate who has been working in the death world since 1994. I am the creator of Death and the Arts and the host of the "Interviews with the Influential" podcast. I have been the hostess of Death Cafe Los Angeles since March 2013.
My calling is to help the dying and their families and to change how we view and do death.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
Why I love being the Death Cafe Los Angeles hostess:
I am thrilled to be a part of this beautiful Death Cafe movement started by Jon Underwood in England. I feel like a part of my life is coming full circle. Hospice was brought to the US from England in 1974 and the first hospice in the US is in my hometown, Branford, Connecticut. My grandfather was mayor of Branford at that time and he fought to have Connecticut Hospice in our town. As a child I went to these hospice meetings and I saw it come to life. As the Death Cafe LA hostess, I love that I am continuing on the path that my grandfather started in 1974.
I love Los Angeles. In 1994, I learned this city as a hospice social worker. I drove all over LA and I helped people of most every culture, class, race, religion and spirituality die peacefully. I was welcomed into homes of complete strangers and they offered me the food and drinks of their culture. I learned about neighborhoods many people never knew existed. I was honored to learn this City of Angels by helping the dying and their families. I want to give back to the people and the city that taught me so much about life, love and death. This is why I am holding Death Cafes all over LA. I want to reconnect with the people and neighborhoods that I love. And the food, I can't forget the food.
Thoughts for sharing:
We live in a vibrant city so let's talk about death and life as we enjoy the amazing food and cultures of Los Angeles. Death Cafes are held all over the City of Angels. As your hostess, I take requests.
"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." Mark Twain
