Through attendance at the recent Death Cafe...i have been able to speak openly about the cancer diagnosis and palliative care of a loved one. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community the opportunity to speak of pre-bereavement and loss is not a common experience and I have welcomed the chance to be heard and understood in a warm and welcoming environment.
The facilitation was so gentle but kept us present with such a difficult topic. It felt very inclusive and really helped me process grief and feel less alone with it. Every event I've attended has been so beautifully organised and thought through in terms of really minding people and being trauma informed. I really appreciate the attention to detail and the care, compassion and space that is held. Thank you again for another really powerful, affirming and surprisingly uplifting experience. I was shocked to come away feeling refreshed from a death cafe, but it really is a space where worries, concerns and the weight of living with cancer and death are shared and set down. Thank you.
