A Deathcare Community is vibrant and cooperative, built on the premise that all participants have something to offer. The greater Richmond area has a wealth of death workers and supports. This meeting hopes to start a more intentional collaborative community. In hoping to establish a mutual aid network that supports the dying, grieving, death workers, and the larger community, members of the death and grief community are invited to gather and begin planning for this collaboration. What is your role in the death community? How can you support people at end of life and in their grief? Here is a link to an INELDA article about seeding deathcare communities. It will be a jumping-off point for this gathering. https://inelda.org/seeding-deathcare-communities/
