Have you ever wondered what a Death Cafe actually is?

Death Cafes are happening across Aotearoa as part of Dying Matters Week, offering relaxed spaces to talk openly about death, dying, and grief.

Taking place in Northland, Auckland, Taranaki, Manawatū, Wellington, Canterbury, Otago, and more, there’s no set agenda or expectation to have all the answers. It’s simply an opportunity to share thoughts, listen to others, ask questions, and have conversations about a topic we often avoid.

Have you ever tried to record your grief in words?

Some of the most meaningful words are the ones we leave behind. A poem can hold a memory, honour someone we love, or express emotions that are sometimes difficult to put into words.

During Dying Matters Week this year, we are creating a special collection of poems, with each piece offering a unique glimpse into experiences of love, loss, grief, and remembrance.

We invite you to share your own poem, memory, or story of love through our website.

Whether you choose to share your contribution with others or keep it as a private reflection, we hope this space provides a meaningful opportunity to connect, remember, and honour the people and moments that matter most.

Read existing collections and submit your own at: gowithgrace.nz/dyingmatters/remembering
