About this Death Cafe

The hosts of this event believe that talking about death is important and helpful, but that we don’t often make time to do it. The Death Café is a dedicated and safe space for doing so. 

About Deborah Darby and Giselle Suarez

Giselle Suarez is a hospice volunteer and End of Life Advocate. She is very committed and passionate about her work. She also offers her services to those who need assistance in “dying to the old” in their lives, on all levels. She says: "We need to make Death our friend because Death urgently needs us to be its friend. Befriending death will allow us to bring the grace, peace, light, consciousness, honor and joy back into dying. This would not only create a huge shift for those who are dying, but also shift everyone’s experience of Death. It is that powerful. It is that essential. 

Let us wake up to Death. It’s been my experience that we are supported beyond our wildest imagination in this proocess. Everything in the Universe will stop what it’s doing and become available to us to assist with the growth produced by letting go of the old. 

Angels will dance and celebrate and eat ice cream."
