A Death Cafe is an informal discussion on the topic of death. Where I live there is one every Tuesday lunch hour at a downtown cafe where you can get lunch or a hot drink. It is facilitated by someone with some training in the field, but not a therapist or anything. It's just a round table--people chat about what is on their minds. I was also on an international one on zoom for artists who presented their death-themed work with discussion. I think your public librarian could direct you to both local ones and on-line ones. This isn't like a grief group with a trained facilitator, but for me it kind of normalized the conversations around death. Thanks for asking! Actually I think a group of friends could do one, or a community center.
