Summary of our Death Cafe Event
Fifteen people shared experiences, ideas, laughter, and tears at our recent Death Café held in the Library Room of Waters Hall. We discussed loss and how grief can be unpredictable and linger, and explored how an End of Life Doula can provide services to support us now, before we are at the end of our days or as caregivers of others. We were pleasantly surposed to have the company of three Death Doulas (plus me), and a published poet who wrote a book on grief. It was an amazingly vibrant afternoon!
Within our circle of discussion, we touched on poetry, novels, and non-fiction (including checklists we can use to prepare for times ahead). A more detailed summary with a list of books and resources has been provided on-site and by request.
