What a wonderful final Death Cafe!
As most of you know by now, I've now moved away from Prestwich and so, whilst I'll still often visit, I will no longer be able to facilitate the Prestwich Death Cafe! I'm looking forward to someone taking it over but I imagine this won't be until at least the new year.
On a personal note, I've had a wonderful (almost) two years hosting this. When I first sought to bring a Death Cafe to Prestwich, initial postings were met with perplexity and even some opposition from those who found the concept and name too brazen for a community interest group. So it's been such a pleasure to watch groups of people, month after month, willing to sit together, speak honestly, and hold space for the stuff a lot of us have been taught to run from.
You’ve all made these evenings meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words - thank you.
Lots of love,
