The subject of Death has been the focus of my professional and personal life for the past 20 years.   I have worked as a hospice nurse and currently teach  physicians,nurses and allied health about Palliative Care and ethics at a local University.     I witnessed many families who were suffering and being admitted to hospice care afraid to say the word 'Death'  ' Die'!    The concept of the Death Cafe is an amazing movement to help our community to learn and grow and just say the word 'Death'.  Discovering the amazing mystery about death and asking more questions can only help us to live more fully. I firmly believe that  until the fear of death is faced in our selves we can never learn to enjoy the moment in our lives that each breath gives us.
