MDI Hospital and the Southwest Harbor Memorial Library will hold a Death Café on Saturday, April 18 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the Library. Many people recognize that we live in a death denying culture and that we can live more fully if we embrace the fact that death happens. Death Café is not a support group, but rather a forum of open discussion for people, often strangers, to gather, eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Refreshments will be provided and there is no fee to attend. For more information, contact Carla Tanguay at 244-3267.
