Being a Veteran myself, my will is already made. If I'm that far gone, I have a DNR. Hopefully I'll go quick though

WTF is a "Death Cafe"?! As a conscientious military wife I have all my final arrangements in place: if I succumb to dementia as did my late beloved father, my husband the military medical professional knows what to do, and how to do it untraceably. My will is up-to-date, and I have already contracted with BioGift (biogift.org) to donate my body to science/medicine...hence no "funeral" (YUCK!) and no funeral expense. My much-younger husband will almost certainly outlive me, and if he wants to throw a party after I die, in celebration of my life, that's entirely up to him.

Whenever i think of it, i dont want to think it

not sure if I believe in an after life, better to live for the present & not count on anything else. Sure, I'd go to a death cafe..never heard of these but why not?

I think as you get older, you start to think more about death than when your a young person.

It's perfectly normal to think about these things. I'm sure everyone does at one time or another. Don't care to discuss it with strangers though.

I do think about it alot!

Never heard of that, it's weird. I don't think about how I want to die or when, Only how I don't want to die (painfully) or live too long and suffer. I'm donating my body to science. No cost, no family burden and I can do something for humanity even after I'm gone. believe in life after death, so not worried about it.

I would just discuss it with my immediate family or whoever would draw up my will not with strangers to me that sounds a bit too morbid and sad.

Sound sliek somethign that nEEDS to be discussed, whether it it morbid or not. Thing need to be talked about and understood on a personal, freindl ylevel to get anywhere. Just thinking it is too morbid gets everybody nowhere and the topic ignored, which is terrable! Would love to be part of a discussion - seems liek you would make some close freinds at such a place/meeting since you would get to knwo them well quickly as long as its a warm accepting environment willing to debate ideas together

I agree, very morbid indeed!

i have a DNR

3 months

that is a sick thought

3 months

the important thing to think about is were we will spent life after.

3 months

it's natural to think about death but I wouldn't go to a cafe to discuss with strangers that's siding on the morbid
