The Death Network Discussion Group - Nov. Topic: Gratitude & Grief

The Death Network Discussion Group is a guided (but not rigid) space for deeper, topic-driven conversations around death, dying, and the many ways we relate to them. Each month, our host team of experienced death workers bring thought-provoking prompts to help spark meaningful discussion. We’re here to explore real talk, in real time, with curious and open-hearted people.

What to expect:
⏳ A welcoming space to explore death through a different lens
⏳ Discussions hosted by a team of experienced death workers
⏳ Each month features thought-provoking prompts to spark deeper conversation (see below)
⏳ Not a workshop, not a class—just honest conversation
⏳ Come curious, leave connected

November's topic: Gratitude & Grief
This month, we’ll explore the connection between gratitude and grief. Grief doesn’t only come from the death of a loved one - it can also arise from everyday losses: a job ending, children leaving home, the close of a relationship. Together, we’ll share stories of how grief shows up in our lives and gently examine the ways gratitude can also be found in those experiences. Can we hold both at once? Can gratitude help us move with grief, rather than against it? Join us for an evening of reflection, sharing, and community connection.

This group is ideal for people who:

• Think about death and dying as part of life
• Want to connect with others in conversation that’s real, respectful, and human
• Aren’t seeking support or therapy, but want a space to talk

We’ll continue to host Death Cafes for those who enjoy open-format dialogue. This group simply offers something a little different for those ready to go deeper into the conversation.
