Death & Grief Cafes
Our Death & Grief Cafes offer a safe, confidential, and welcoming space where people—often strangers—come together to talk openly about death, dying, and grief.
There is no agenda or objectives; the conversation is simply led by the people in the group. We sit in small groups so it’s easy to participate. It is a place to talk and share or just listen.
At a Death Cafe, the focus is on exploring feelings, questions, and reflections about death and mortality. The aim is to increase awareness of death, encouraging us to live our finite lives to the fullest.
At our Grief Cafes, the conversation focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of grief, providing a space for connection and support.
Understanding Grief Talk
Wednesday December 3 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Join us during Grief Awareness Week (2nd–8th December 2025) for our Understanding Grief Talk, presented in collaboration with the Waltham Forest Mental Health and Wellness Team (NELFT NHS Foundation Trust). Our event aims to raise awareness and encourage open conversations about grief and loss.
The talk will provide information about grief and the grieving process to dispel common myths and misconceptions surrounding grief. We will also discuss the various ways that grief can affect us and explore coping strategies to look after ourselves and to support others.
The talk is suitable for those grieving and anyone who wants to increase their understanding of grief and how they can compassionately support others.
It will be an interactive session but there will be no expectation that you have to participate – you are welcome to just come along and listen.
Everyone is welcome – whether you’ve been personally affected by grief or simply want to understand it better. Book your free place today.
