The NL Palliative Care Association is sponsoring what’s called, “A Death Cafe” in Corner Brook on Monday. It’s the first of its kind in the city but other sessions have been held in Grand Falls-Winsor, St. John’s and Labrador City. Sandra Lush is the Regional Manager-Spiritual Health and Ethics. She says this is a free gathering for those 55+ to talk about death openly. The idea started first in England in 2011 and Lush says it provides an opportunity to make the topic of death normal. She says topics will include palliative care myths, funeral arrangements, and an open discussion about end-of-life. Lunch will be provided but people have to register by 4 p.m. on Sunday by calling 709-634-5280. Death Cafe will be held on Monday, November 18th starting noon at Humber United Church.
