Talking about death is one of the most natural conversations we can have as human beings and yet it’s often the one we avoid the most.

Death & Cheesecake Sunday is a gentle way to begin changing that.

📅 April 12
⏰ 2–4 PM

We’ll gather around the table, enjoy some cheesecake, and have an open conversation about death. There’s no presentation and no agenda just a welcoming space to talk, listen, ask questions, and explore thoughts many of us carry quietly.

These conversations can help us:
• feel less alone in our thoughts about death
• become more comfortable discussing end of life plans and death itself
• connect with others in meaningful ways

Please note:
This is a discussion gathering, not a grief support group.

If a grief support group is something you would like to see offered in the future, please send me a message or comment “grief” below so I can get a sense of interest.

I’d love to have you join us around the table for thoughtful conversation and cheesecake. 🍰

Coming up on April 12, from 2-4pm is our Death & Cheesecake Sunday.

Come join us for a discussion on death. There are no expectations or agenda. It is a way for us all to get more comfortable talking about and talking with each other about death.

Please note this is a discussion and not a grief support group. Let me know if a grief support group is of interest by sending me a dm or commenting “grief” below.

I look forward to seeing you and gathering around the table to talk about death.

The reason this space is so important has been glaring brightly these past weeks.

I dropped the ball due to my recent grief. All that I planned to get done before my open house, didn’t get done.
I even forgot to think about putting the date & event in our local newspaper.

So here we sit. A week out from my open house. Will I cancel? No.

Just like me people need connection. Whether you believe so or not. Whether you accept it or not. We all need a place to feel safe. To feel safe to share. A place to learn how to talk about, live, and support the changes in our lives that are hard even if at times good changes. Changes bring grief whether it’s the death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, a relationship, a version of a life you thought you’d have or even a change in your role( like in your child’s life).

Life is full of change.
Life is full of grief.
We must stop stuffing it down.
Let’s grieve outloud. Let’s grieve each our own way.
Let’s talk.
Let’s be there for each other.

I’d planned to host the open house before all was ready when it wasn’t perfect. Messy. Incomplete. It’s a time for anyone local ( or willing to travel) to come in and meet me. To see the place and to hear alittle about what I’m planning.
Now it’s very much at the beginning. You’ll need to see with your imagination the things I will share with you. You will be part of the conversation, a part of it from the beginning.
So if you are free and interested, come by and see. Come share your thoughts. Let’s connect.

Sunday, March 22 from 1-4pm at the The Connection Nook.
