A Sixth Anniversary I Am Grateful For!

Happy Anniversary to the Elisabeth Kubler Ross Foundation and Mission Hospice for 6 years of virtual death cafes!

It has been my honor to be the facilitator of these sweet and supportive conversations about death and dying, grief and loss, for all this time, along with powerhouse Susan Barber.

We used to do it every week after the pandemic began and we kept that up for about two years. Then Susan moved on and I became the host with her subbing for me at times.

Slowly we went from every week to 3x a month. We have wonderful folks who have been with us the entire time and we are always welcoming new folks.

A big shout out to Ken Ross, Susan, Christine, Frances, Alijah for their behind the scenes support! And to the regulars including Jan, Hugh, David, Josh, Anne, Adelaide, LilliAnn, Gina, Cathy! And to the folks from Pattagonia, England, Ireland, Portugal and India! And to all the folks who drop in!

Thanks for the vulnerable sharing, for teaching me about the grief in every day things, for reminding me that when we come together in community and share, we can overcome anything.

This has been my sacred community, a place of respite and calm, a place of deep caring and deep listening, a place for healing.

A mil gracias!

Here's to 6 more!
