Organized by
l am an End of Life (Death) Doula tending to the needs of the dying and supporting their families/caregivers. I'm also a community death educator and hospice volunteer.
I had the profound good fortune of being Mom's caregiver for 11 years and experiencing her death through my love-tinted glasses as natural, sacred, graceful, gentle, inevitable, and her final rite of passage.
Escorting my mom to the end of the earth changed me on a cellular level and my relationship with, and understanding of, death and dying were completely transformed. As a result, I am committed to amplifying constructive dialogues around death and dying because I believe that by sharing our knowledge and experiences we can help combat the pervasive negativity and death illiteracy that is so prevalent in our society.
Over the past three years, I have attended dozens of Death Cafes and I am always in awe of how the simple concept of tea, cake, and dialogue provides so much to so many. I believe that talking about death and dying can reduce fear and suffering so I host these conversations, under the Death Cafe banner, to pay it forward.
