The Death Cafe Project in Glasgow

Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 35 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates those involved in the The Death Cafe project, which sees a group of strangers meet up and discuss loss and bereavement with no agenda, objectives or themes; understands that a group in Glasgow is hoping to make opening up about bereavement less of a taboo and provide a safe space for those struggling with grief; further understands that Amelia Marron has been attending one such group at Finn's Place in the city's southside and believes that speaking to people who have also faced grief has helped her come to terms with the loss she experienced at a young age; notes that Glasgow currently has three Death Cafe's located across the city, including in Whiteinch Demistifying Centre, Finn's Place and Cambuslang Parish Church, which provide a safe place to have a conversation about death and hopes to make people less feel alone, and believes that it is normal to discuss death and grief.
