Indian River County Death Cafe
A write up of Indian River County Death Cafe'
By marie
completion of this evenings death cafe took us all somewhere we didnt expect. in the pursuit of a better finite life, we realized how many deaths we experience of people we know who are still alive. death does not require the end of a pulse or a respiration. active members of society, can in a way become "dead" to us. geographical and interpersonal distances can contribute to disconnection. members were varied on their response to this on a range from "not bothered at all", to "very bothered". we also reviewed interprtations of various stages of grief and the length of time grief requires. the type of relationship contributes to the length of recovery. sometimes we grieve prior to a death. another very spirited open discussion. we are considering possible outtings and guest speakers. meditation labyrinthys were explored. we had a group of seven, snacks were enjoyed. no new members at this group, but all here are interested in returning. our next gathering will be in the south county on nov18th at 10am in vero beach. thank you
