My First Time;-)
A write up of Mostviertel Death Cafe
Today I hosted my first Death Cafe, at my dining table in my beautiful, cozy home in the countryside.
We were 5 people, 2 friends of mine and a son with his mother from my area.
It went well, I would say, the concept of Death Cafe being totally new to all of them.
My cake had turned out really tasty, it was the first Sunday of Advent and we had an hour and a half of open conversation.
Two people are actually affected of a close relative being very sick in the hospital, the story behind it really touched the rest of us.
We also talked about the importance of loving touch to the sick people; we talked how speaking about suicide is becoming less of a tabu finally; about experiences in the past with wakes; about dying on a farm in a big family; about funerals being a money bringing business; about how important and healing having certain conversations can be... and a few more things...
I enjoyed having this open minded and warm hearted group of people in my house!
The next Mostviertel Death Cafe will take place in February:-)
