SUMMARY:O.C. Virtual Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:The O.C. Virtual Death Cafe is the place to be to immerse yourself in a lively discussion around dying and death. Anyone curious about dying and death is welcome. \nAre you looking for a safe place to share your thoughts\, ask questions\, and hear what others say? At our long-running  O.C. Virtual Death Cafe\, we welcome all opinions and topics\, provided the guidelines that keep the discussions safe and accessible are respected. Please RSVP to: melissa@lastactsoflove.com for the Zoom link or more information. \nThe History of the OC Virtual Death Cafe\nSouthern California resident and end-of-life doula Linda Barnard co-hosted the first Orange County Death Cafe in October 2021 with veteran San Diego Death Cafe host\, Dr. Mitsuo “Mits” Tomita. What started as a mid-COVID monthly meetup has continued to flourish as a virtual monthly discussion. Linda continued to host the Orange County Death Cafe after Mits was unavailable to co-host monthly. Linda decided to step down as host in September 2024. \nIn October 2024\, Linda asked San Diego Virtual Death Cafe host Melissa ‘Mel’ McClave to take over hosting duties of the Orange County Death Cafe. Mel made the Orange County Death Cafe a permanent virtual meeting and changed the name to OC Virtual Death Cafe. \nDeathwork in Orange County\, California\nFor over 100 years\, the residents of Orange County\, California\, have thoughtfully cared for their dead. Orange County is home to about one million residents\, all of whom will die. The ethnic diversity of the county requires a thoughtful approach to cultural rituals and modern legacy options. \nLeisure World in Seal Beach and Laguna Hills are Orange County’s premier retirement communities. Residents of Leisure World buy into their community knowing that it will be their home at the end of life. Residents are serviced by nearby mortuaries and cemeteries. \nIn May 2024\, Barbara McMurray founded the Orange County Deathworkers Alliance to bring together traditional and new-age practitioners of end-of-life care providers. The alliance currently includes caregiver services\, end-of-life doulas\, physicians\, memorial artists\, and authors who write extensively on end-of-life topics.

SUMMARY:Vista Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:The Vista Death Cafe meets in person at 1 PM once per quarter. 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 that fit into both schedules. \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.

SUMMARY:Virtual Terminal Talk
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a life-limiting diagnosis? Virtual Terminal Talk is a FREE group-led discussion exclusively for people living with a life-limiting diagnosis to join others in exploring 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 arise\, Terminal Talk is not a grief support group or a resource for 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\nRoseana Spangler-Sims invited Mel McClave 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. \nIn 2026\, we expanded Terminal Talk to two meetings per month. We are blessed to spend 90 minutes together twice a month. \nWe need your support to help Terminal Talk continue to grow. Please share this free resource with anyone who qualifies or with someone who knows someone who qualifies. This is important as the founding members succumb to their fate and are only present in spirit. \nJoin “Terminal Talk” – a free\, confidential group for those living with a life-limiting diagnosis to openly discuss the physical\, emotional\, and spiritual aspects of dying. \n\n\nExclusively for patients – not caregivers\, loved ones\, or the general public.
