Death and Cupcakes

10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Holmes Family Meeting Room

Chatham Community Library, Pittsboro 

Sponsored by Friends of the Library

While there is no roadmap for grief, finding different ways to cope can be part of the healing process. Death and Cupcakes provides a safe space to ask questions, share your story, be witnessed, sit quietly in present time, and listen to the insights of others on death, dying, loss, grief, and renewal. Facilitated by heart2heartnc director Cathy Brooksie Edwards with live music by musician Amy Durso, raises awareness about topics surrounding death that often remain taboo. In addition to encouraging open and honest dialogue, there will be short periods of mindfulness meditation, and of course, cupcakes.


Please join us for this free event, made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Chatham Community Library. No registration is required.​

​​About Death Cafes

Death Cafes are part of a global movement.  The idea was born from the writings of Bernard Crettaz, a Swiss sociologist who believes talking about death leads to authenticity.

​

At a Death Cafe, the community gathers to discuss life and death, with a serving of tea and cake. The objective is to raise awareness through open conversation about a topic that remains taboo. The idea is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of our (finite) lives.”

​

Death Cafes are not-for-profit and there is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product, or course of action. Learn more at www.deathcafe.com

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. 

It took me years to  understand that this, too, was a gift.”
