Death Cafe in Stockbridge
A write up of Death Cafe in Stockbridge
By Bernadetta
My very first Death Cafe took place on thursday with 10 people attending including myself!
I didn't realize (didn't I really?) it's a different level we get to know people and how deep, touching, happy-sad stories we get to listen to and share.
I was a bit nervous too but everyone who came, a mixture of friends, non friends, dance related bodies made a great fusion on offerings into the conversation.
Talking about Death made me once again reassured that talking about a difficult thing makes that thing more approchable, friendly, less isolated and maybe less scary? who knows what it's like when Death approaches, we agreed no one can be prepared for it until it happens, we discussed sudden death and the long process of dying through ilness, losing loved ones etc.
There was no conclusion as everyone feels differently which is great! we might imagine one or another but we will not know, until we are face to face with Death, really...
It was great to hear that Death for some doesnt mean an end, but continuity, as if everything is an energy and if we feel rich spiritually, if we lead a deep and meaningful spiritual life, our death will also be in the realms of spirituality...
I am grateful for The Death Cafe concept and I would like to continue, a date to follow will be up soon, I hope!
