Death over Dinner!
The ritual of breaking bread with others creates connections and is universal to all of humanity. Throughout history, conversations held over the dinner table have led to some of the greatest artistic endeavours and political revolutions that have ever witnessed. Death over Dinner provides a safe space to explore your fears, thoughts and feelings about death and end-of-life care. It is now a global movement with more than 100 000 events worldwide. We look forward to having you join us over dinner.
This Bereavement 101: Basics of Grief and Bereavement presentation will be self reflective for the participant and explore ways to support those who are grieving a loss with practical tips around listening and what not to say. We’ll talk about how comfortable (or rather uncomfortable) we are as a society around death and dying and touch briefly on some grief theories. We’ll talk about the importance of self care as the helper too. We will also highlight when it might be good to refer into bereavement services.
