Death Cafe Notes

Notes from Kelsey Crelin, Facilitator of the Albany Death Cafes:

Hello friends! 

-A book that has come up in the last few cafes is Memorial Days by Geraldine Brooks

If people are on the hunt for more end-of-life planning resources:

- Dartmouth has free classes through September virtually at: https://events.dartmouth-health.org/organizer/aging-resource-center/

- https://patriciamsears.substack.com/ 

Patricia Sears is one of the members of our Death Cafes and a Death Doula. She has many interviews, insights and resources available. I would invite anyone to take a delve into her substack 

- Jim sent me a link to this wonderful website: http://www.orderofthegooddeath.com  

 A friend recently reached out to tell me that she has taken the steps to donate her body in the future to UVM's Anatomical Gift program. More information about this can be found at: https://www.uvm.edu/larnermed/anatomical-gifts

Our next Cafe will be held on August 13th at the Albany Library. For a list of more Death Cafes in our area check out: https://www.nekdeathcarecommunity.org/

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer. 

All the best,
