Talking About Death Won’t Kill You

By sharing some of the many stories Jim has heard from his personal experiences hosting Death Cafés and volunteering with Final Exit Network, he hopes attendees will be inspired to become more comfortable discussing this stigmatized topic. He spent much of his life not realizing that he was death ignorant, likely in death denial, and desperately in need of death education. He has learned that the more conversations and the more planning, the greater solace one can achieve, the deeper appreciation of  life’s preciousness, as well as leaving a generous gift to our grateful, grieving loved ones.
