Death Over Coffee (Portsmouth, NH)

Death Over Coffee: A monthly community conversation around topics related to dying, death, and how to navigate what comes with it—starting from where you are today, ideally before it’s urgent. FREE to attend, all are welcome. No experience required.

Hosted at the vibrant Portsmouth Senior Activity Center — a space for curious minds of all ages to get in on the die-a-logue. Facilitated by the Pre-Dead Social Club.

We get it—talking about death can feel awkward, but it doesn’t have to be. Death Over Coffee is a relaxed, judgment-free event where people come together to have real conversations about something we all have in common: mortality.

What You Can Expect: Each month we offer up a conversation starter (we call them die-a-logue starters!) designed to spark meaningful discussion. You'll join small, facilitated groups to share, listen, and reflect on the die-a-logue starter that month. We wrap up with a few small steps—ideas to consider, conversations to have, or things to explore. You leave with something personal to carry forward.

Think of it as a chance to:

• Expand: No two end-of-lifes are alike—hear a range of perspectives and insights that can shape your own thinking.
• Reflect: Consider what aging, caregiving, and end-of-life decisions mean in your own life and how you might communicate them to those that matter.
• Explore: Take a fresh look at the practical side of dying, even if you think you’ve got it all buttoned up.
• Support: Discover how we can show up for one another—both now and in the future.

Death Over Coffee is not a grief group, but we know tender moments show up when they want to. You’re encouraged to participate at your own comfort level.

Come curious, bring a friend—or come solo and leave with new connections.

Why Coffee, Not Cocktails? Death Over Coffee is the morning cousin of our popular Death Over Drinks event. Same welcoming format, just earlier in the day—perfect for folks who prefer daylight discussions and want to keep their evening options open.
