Death Cafe Dunedin 15 March 2020
A write up of Death Cafe Dunedin
By welshsh
Four people met at the restaurant at the Racecourse. All of us had been coming to the Death Cafe almost from its inception. It felt more like a meeting of new friends than a gathering of strangers. While large groups are energising with a wide range of people sharing interesting snippets of information, smaller groups allow for more in depth discussion and the telling of more personal stories. We discussed the rapid decline and death of someone’s wife in the hospital they worked at; another’s experience as a carer of elderly people with its challenges and rewards and the another’s experiences looking after her mother who is slowing becoming more and more demented.
