Family and Dying a Central Topic of Discussion
A write up of Portland, OR Thursday Evening Death Cafe
By nomenoyou1
We had 14 people at this Death Cafe, our largest Thursday evening turnout in several months. The Peace House fireplace was lovely and comforting. Linda facilitated one group and David facilitated another. One table discussed the role of a death doula, the uncertainty of life, the challenges of deciding how much to involve children when a grandparent or parent is dying, how a child's experience with death at a young age can affect them decades later -- among other topics. As always, tea, cake (chocolate), gluten free vegan cookies and other treats were served.
