A Note from Lynda – Closing Our Death Café Sale Trafford Chapter
After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to close Death Café Sale Trafford.
When I first began hosting, I could not have imagined the depth of connection, honesty and gentle humour that would grow from our gatherings. It has been a real privilege to sit with so many of you, to share tea, stories and meaningful conversations about life, death and everything in between.
As life has taken me in a new direction, I have realised I can no longer give the Café the time and care it deserves. While this chapter is coming to a close, I carry forward everything we have shared and I hope you do too.
Thank you for your presence, your openness and the care you have shown one another. You helped create something truly special.
I also would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Tracey the owner of Thrive Wellbeing Hub
for offering such a beautiful and welcoming space for our gatherings.
Your generosity made it possible for me to hold space for others and I am so grateful. It meant a great deal not only to me but to everyone who came along and found comfort, connection and conversation in that room.
Just a final note -
As we approach Christmas, I know this season can feel especially tender when loved ones are no longer with us. However you are spending the coming weeks, I hope you find moments of peace, warmth and rest.
With warmest wishes
Lynda Royle
Former Host, Death Café Sale Trafford
