Death Cafes have been around since 2011 and their goal is to provide a space where people can discuss death in a forum that is supportive and non-threatening. While it is not exactly a support group for grief, it does allow for the opportunity to meet others “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.” You may find out more about Death Cafe and locate a Death Cafe near you by going to their website https://deathcafe.com/. If you are interested in learning how you might host your own Death Cafe, you can find out details in this Guide To Run Your Own Death Cafe https://deathcafe.com/site_media/files/guide.pdf.
Lastly, you can learn more about why someone would be interested in participating in a Death Cafe from an organizer of a Death Cafe in Portland, Kate Brassington at https://youtu.be/iVMBCZjk4c0.
We at Access Cremation hope that you will find a way to channel your grief and get the support from family, friends and community to help you through this difficult time. Remember, we are here to help. Contact us anytime.
