About this Death Cafe
Francis Weller, grief counselor, speaker, author, and thought leader in grief and end of life issues says that, "Our refusal to acknowledge grief and death has twisted us into a culture riddled with death." Judy and Carol are committed to raising the awareness of death, dying, and end of life issues in the Chicagoland area and throughout society and strive to encourage thoughtful, inclusive conversations about conscious dying.
"Analysis of death is not for the sake of becoming fearful but to appreciate this precious lifetime." --the Dalai Lama
Join us for a thoughtful, intimate conversation about death over coffee, cake and other goodies.
