It is an awkward subject, death, and by not discussing it, one can tamper down its’ associated feelings of anxiety, fear and sadness.
We can almost believe death is not going to happen, but what if you wish to acknowledge the inevitable and be more aware of what will happen?
Register for Death Café at the Ladner Pioneer Library on Tuesday, May 23, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. where people – often strangers, gather to eat sweets, drink tea and discuss death.
The objective is to increase awareness of death, to help people make the most of their (finite) lives - to live life to the fullest. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. Obtaining a comfort level with the topic means we can support friends, family and ourselves when death touches our lives.
The Ladner Pioneer Library is pleased to partner with the Heron Hospice Society of Delta in this group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes.
Death Cafe meets again on Tuesday, June 20, 6 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Ladner Pioneer Library. To register, visit the Events Page at: www.fvrl.ca.
