Eldercare Illuminated

What’s a Death Café? It’s part of a growing movement designed to help us squeamish Americans stop being so fearful of talking about death. Does your family discuss issues around death and dying? Have you and your loved ones expressed your wishes openly and honestly? Do you understand all of your options? In this episode of Eldercare Illuminated, host Lenore Tracey speaks with Heather Massey, cofounder of the Cape Cod Death Café, and Julie Lipkin, one of the Cape Cod Death Café’s regular facilitators. Tune in as Heather and Julie relate their experiences and insights on how to bring death back into life through shared conversations with other people in your community. By bringing this often taboo subject out of the shadows, you and your loved ones can make sure that individual wishes are understood and followed. About Our Guests:Heather Massey is the cofounder of the Cape Cod Death Café, a representative of the FuneralConsumers Alliance of Eastern Massachusetts, a death educator, and a Home Funeral Guide with
