The second Death Cafe Verona

A write up of Invito a partecipare al Death Cafe, conversazione aperta sulla morte e sul morire

By Elisabetta Lucchi

There were 10 participants at the second Death Café which was held on the 8^th April at the Cerchio della Luna bookshop in the centre of town

We mostly talked about the emptiness and sadness we feel during bereavement and how it seems to last forever. We also discussed how hard it is to process and accept the loss and the various different ways we all have to deal with this.

We then shared some thoughts about what to expect after death.

Everyone felt that this Death Café provided a gentle, safe space which was sensitive to feelings. The atmosphere was perfect for an open sharing of ideas and many varying opinions were expressed. The whole experience gave a sense of help, comfort and hope.

The refreshments were much appreciated as eating together always helps us to relax and open up!
