Canadian death Cafe death wish
In Canada, there is a group of people who gather in a warm cafe, drink steaming coffee, eat delicious cake, and discuss the topic of life and death.
Dubbed the Death Cafe, the venue is currently taking off across Canada. Victoria, Calgary and Vancouver in eastern Canada have all opened Death Cafes, and more are on the way. Edmonton's first Death Cafe opened on April 28, 2013, Ottawa's first Death Cafe will open in June 2013, and Calgary's second Death Cafe will open in early May 2013.
Organiser Ross Wardle and nursing home nurse Joan Van opened Canada's first Death Cafe in Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Park neighborhood, with 13 members by April 2013.
London opened the world's first "Death Cafe" in 2011. Since then, nearly 100 such coffees have been opened in Europe, the United States and Canada, and by 2013 more and more places have opened.
The name Death Cafe sounds decadent, but enthusiasts say they are actually affirming life.
Each participant was known to have a different background, some working in hospice care themselves, others having just experienced the death of a family member or a loved one facing final farewell.
Ross Wardle, organizer of Canada's first Death Cafe, said the idea was to break cultural taboos and give people a comfortable place to talk freely about life and death.
"If people don't think there's a place to talk about death, come here," Ross Wardle said on CTV, a mainstream television station here."It opens the door to taboos.
Ross Wardle argues that Death Cafes help people better prepare for death. When someone dies, or death is imminent, they can take the time to do something they have thought about beforehand for themselves or the dying person.
Ross Wardle says discussing death is taboo across almost all cultures, and the rapid spread of death cafes around the world suggests that people are actually willing to talk about it. "I think the 'Cafe of Death' will open the door to cultural fusion of death and dying for all of humanity."
