SUMMARY:Virtual Terminal Talk
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a life-limiting diagnosis? Our Virtual Terminal Talk is a group-led discussion inviting people living with a life-limiting diagnosis to join others as they explore the realities of dying and death. This supportive space encourages participants to share thoughts on the physical\, emotional\, and spiritual aspects of dying. While grief may naturally emerge\, Terminal Talk does not serve as a grief support group or cater to caregivers\, loved ones\, or the general public. \nAll diagnoses are welcome! Whether you’re living with ALS\, cancer\, heart failure\, or something else\, we want you to join our group. We are a friendly place and understand the loneliness that comes with trying to make sense of our fate. \nThe History of Terminal Talk\nTerminal Talk’s host\, Mel McClave\, was invited by Roseana Spangler-Sims to host “Terminal Talk: An Open Discussion on Dying for a Select Few.” Roseana yearned for a place where people living with an incurable diagnosis could come together to talk about their experience. In May 2025\, Mel hosted the first “Terminal Talk” in person at the Vista Senior Center. \nAlthough people wanted a virtual option\, Terminal Talk remained in-person until Roseana’s death in August 2025. Consequently\, Mel pivoted the in-person meeting into a virtual meeting on the same date and time. Mel learned how to host a group like Terminal Talk through her volunteer work as a Death Cafe host. \nThe Future\nSeven people joined the first meeting of the Virtual Terminal Talk. Considering the nature of this discussion group\, it’s important to invite all who qualify to participate. The bond we form transcends the limits of geography and time. We are blessed to spend 90 minutes a month together. We need your support as the founding members of the group succumb to their fate and are present in spirit.

SUMMARY:Vista Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:The Vista Death Cafe meets in person at 1 PM on the second Wednesday of every month. The Vista Death Cafe started in August 2025.  Despite having to coordinate schedules with the very active Vista senior community\, Mel McClave eventually found a time and space to accommodate all. \nDo you have an interest in the subject of dying and death? Are you looking for a safe space to share your thoughts\, ask questions\, and hear what others say? At this Death Cafe\, we welcome all opinions and topics\, provided they follow a few rules that keep the discussions safe and accessible. You are certainly welcome to join us for quality conversations around dying and death. \nThe purpose of this Death Cafe is “ to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their finite lives.” We use this time to discuss dying and death with no expectations\, agendas\, themes\, or promotions. \nDeath Cafes are a worldwide phenomenon.  Jon Underwood launched and hosted Death Cafes in London from 2011 until his death from cancer in 2017. He modeled them after Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s “Café Mortale.” In 2012\, Lizzy Miles hosted the first Death Cafe in the US in Columbus\, Ohio. \nVolunteers host Death Cafes and DeathCafe.com\, and they are always FREE to attend.  The guidelines that govern Death Cafes are the vision of Jon Underwood to keep the conversation welcoming and free from personal debate. Attending Death Cafes allows you to enter a space created for exchanging ideas without the pressure of conforming.  Some Death Cafes ask for donations. Consequently\, if you feel the need to donate\, please donate directly to this Death Cafe or directly to DeathCafe.com. \nLearn more about Mel’s five years of experience as a Death Cafe host and the Death Cafes she hosts\, here.
