February 2024 Shepherdstown WV Death Cafe
A write up of Shepherdstown WV Death Cafe: Tea, Cake and Conversation
It was another lively gathering in February, fresh off the snowstorms that surprised us!
Discussion centered around how those who are dying - or caring for those who are dying - may find spirituality/religious traditions comforting or distressing, or anywhere along that spectrum.
The Cafe closed with a reading of Lisel Mueller's lovely poem, "Hope":
"It is the singular gift we cannot destroy in ourselves,
the argument that refutes death . . .
all we know of God. . . .
it is in this poem, trying to speak."
Over tea and homemade cake, it was a lovely gathering, with the promise of more good conversation to come.
First Tuesdays at Noon - Shepherdstown Public Library!
