In January, I co-sponsored an event for those interested in learning and sharing about end-of-life planning, resources and networking. This collaborative gathering called Death Over Drafts Happy Hour was a great way to spark curiosity and connection around death and dying. As senior care professionals, we wanted to create a space for open discussion and de-stigmatize talking about the inevitable.
Death over Drafts Happy Hour is a recurring monthly event held in various Los Angeles breweries. The co-founders, Stefanie Elkins of Be Present Care along with Jill Schock of Death Doula LA are both end-of-life doulas who guide senior clients and their families through the dying process. As interest in guided passage through end-of-life care has risen, Stefanie and Jill have welcomed others who shared their passions, including senior care managers, geriatric care consultants and other professions working with elderly patients to engage in conversations on death and dying.
The Death Deck continues to be a welcome conversation starter that is featured at many happy hours. As the thirst for conversation we are co-crafting Death over Drafts Happy Hours across the country.
