Death Café — Coming Soon
Sometimes we need a place where it's okay to talk about death.
I'm currently preparing to bring a Death Café to my local community — an informal gathering where people can come together over a cuppa and talk openly about death, dying, grief and anything else the subject brings up.
A Death Café isn't grief counselling or a therapy group. There is no agenda and nobody is there to tell you what you should believe about death.
It's simply a welcoming space for conversations that we don't often get the opportunity to have.
You might be curious, frightened, planning ahead, grieving, or simply interested in talking about something that eventually touches all of us.
More details coming soon.
Support for Family & Carers
When someone is dying, much of the attention naturally goes to the person who is ill.
But the people around them are living through it too.
You may be caring for someone you love while experiencing fear, exhaustion, sadness, anger, guilt or even resentment — sometimes several of these at once.
You may also be grieving for someone who is still here.
Having somewhere you can speak openly about those feelings, without worrying about upsetting the person who is dying or being judged for how you “should” feel, can make an enormous difference.
As a death doula, I can walk alongside family members and carers too — offering a listening ear, helping with difficult conversations and supporting you as you navigate what may be an unfamiliar and emotionally complicated time.
You needn't wait until after someone dies to ask for support.
