Community Resources
At Calgary's First Death Cafe, discussion topics ranged from gravestone inscriptions, how death might be personified physically, after-life communication, and grief.
Sometimes, Death Cafe conversations spawn new ideas and perspectives; sometimes they tap into old memories and "unfinished business". Days and weeks later, while waiting for the next Death Cafe, it's handy to have some community resources for those issues that need a little extra attention - it's another adventure!
Here are some resources, and websites that you might find helpful. I don't endorse any of them - I offer them to you as places to start...
