Joan and Scott had a busy cafe with two active tables at the Friends Meeting House. Everyone enjoyed cake and tea before selling in. Scott's table discussed issues of dealing with acute grief. There was a great deal of very personal self-disclosure. We discussed accessing groups in Portland and the processing of grief in a group setting. We also reviewed individual therapy and psychoactive medication. Members had considerable personal experiences to share. There was discussion of the loss of a child, other types of loss, and loss of a pet. We reviewed the loss of companionship. There was interest in end-of-life care. We discussed funerals, disposal of ...

The seven participants at yesterday's Myrtle Beach Death Cafe at Chapin Memorial Library enjoyed a convivial early afternoon conversation covering a wide range of topics.
Attendance was off a bit from our typical 10-12 participants; a beautiful day at the beach is a significant distraction. So, too, are the hundreds of activities in this popular beach destination of ours.
Those who've attended previous Myrtle Beach Death Cafes at Chapin Memorial Library know we try to follow the founder's suggested guidance of having "cake and tea/coffee" be an integral aspect (to encourage amiable conversations).
Yesterday's "conversation nibbles", instead, was a platter of snack pastries ...

Genevieve and Jim opened this Death Cafe. 13 participants from USA and Canada. Discussion included life after life, "near death experiences," presence of spirits and angels, grief, comfort with our mortality. Speaking and listening was most of our time. And a fair amount of time silently present. Wrap up included a song titled "What the world needs now is love sweet love" feeling gratitude, and appreciation for our time together. We will meet again 4th Sunday in April. Check for Virtual Death Cafe Albany on https://www.eventbrite.com/

Seven people attended the cafe in our great community space, from an initial list of 12 on the booking. We had explanations from almost all the no shows, who will book on one of the others this year.
There were fresh flowers on all the tables, which welcomed people into the room. We all sat around one table.
Everyone contributed and stayed the full two hours, despite one person saying they woudl 'just listen' and the other that they would not stay for the duration.
One person was deep in grief, but wanted to be there, and spoke eloquently and movingly.
Some else quoted a beautiful extract from ...

While attendance was small again, the conversation was lively! Today, we discussed how to live when you're handling death at the same time. A new parent having to travel to spend time with a dying family member. The idea was that death is rushed and feels urgent, but life is the exact opposite and is slow and leisurely. Every second counts when you're living and it should be explored fully and let the clock of death tick on as it can't be controlled on its own.
