Death Cafe

There are so many grief camps, like Comfort Zone, which meets all across the country and helps young kids learn to make more sense of their grief, and also just get to have a fun week at camp.

They're always accepting volunteers.

People hold death cafes, which, while it's not technically a grief group, is basically a coffee hour for people to talk about death and the effect that it has on the living.

I mean, there are seriously so many different welcoming organizations.

If going in person feels a little too intense for you, I've been floored by how many virtual meeting options there are.

That's so funny.

Okay, I would love you to share a little bit about the Death Cafe, what it is.

I don't know if we have those in Vancouver.

Oh, they're all around.

Yeah, and to appreciate the fact that they are in a different space than we are and that they may be uncomfortable at the beginning of even having these conversations.

At the Death Cafe tomorrow, we're going to be talking about how do we start those conversations because that came up in that group.

Well, that's great to have that, but my husband doesn't want to talk about it.

My parent... ignores that and pushes that off every time I bring it up.
