COMMUNITY conversation about life, loss and everything in between returned to Tea Gardens this week, with the Death Cafe restarting at the local library.
The Death Cafe provides a safe, welcoming space for people to talk openly and listen to others about death and what it encompasses, without judgement or expectation.
One reader on Facebook said the sessions were informal and shaped entirely by those who attended.
“No set agenda, just participant-lead discussions and questions!” they said.
The return of the Death Cafe followed a long break due to library renovations, as well as clashing events and holiday periods.
The session was held on Monday, 2 February from 10am at Tea Gardens Library, using the new meeting room.
Death Cafes are part of a growing global movement that encourages honest conversations about death, dying and grief, helping people better understand their own thoughts and feelings.
It aims to connect people in a supportive environment.
The session is designed to be respectful and inclusive, with no presentations, no sales and no pressure to speak.
People were welcome to attend whether they wished to share, listen quietly or simply learn from the experiences of others.
For more library events and information, residents were encouraged to visit the library website, call (02) 7955 7001 or email library.events@midcoast.nsw.gov.au.
