We gather in a virtual environment\, to openly and tenderly talk about death and dying.

This is a discussion group\, not a grief support group\, although many people share about the loss of loved ones. So bring a cup of tea and join us on Zoom in this supportive and welcoming environment. \nParticipation is free\, but registration is required. \n***** \nTo keep our community safe\, our events are now being held online.
