What a wonderful discussion. I've participated in in-person groups from time to time called "Death Cafes" - opportunities for any and all people without a vested interest in selling something to come together for a couple of hours over coffee and cake and talk about ... death. Not bereavement support or counseling - more a chance to contribute to reducing the cultural phobia of the topic that we are surrounded with.
Which is why I LOVE this sharing - and long may it continue.
Esme, thank you for the courage you have shown in sharing, in the hope that it may help others. It can be such a challenging thing to do. Wouldn't it be wonderful if others reading this thread could find it within themselves to consider sharing too.
You could say that my 'special interest' is the implications of what happens when people lose their fear of personal annihilation.
