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 in-person “Terminal Talk” 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 have succumbed to their fate and are present only 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.

SUMMARY:San Diego Virtual Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:The San Diego Virtual Death Cafe is in its seventh year of continuous hosting on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Here\, you will find a safe place to share your interest in dying and death. Are you looking for a safe place to share your thoughts\, ask questions\, and hear what others say? At this Death Cafe\, we welcome all opinions and topics\, provided they adhere to a few rules to keep the discussions safe and accessible. \nThe History of Death Cafes\nDeath Cafes are an international phenomenon. Jon Underwood founded Death Cafes in 2011 in London\, England. Jon’s vision was to create a space where people could talk about death over tea and cake. The cafes welcome all perspectives. Jon knew that creating a space where people knew there was no agenda\, no speakers\, and no promotions fostered organic conversation. \nAfter Jon died from cancer in 2017\, his family and friends continued Death Cafe as a tribute to his life’s work. To this day\, Death Cafes remain free to attend and free from pre-planned discussion. All Death Cafe hosts agree to volunteer and follow the guidelines set by Jon. \nThe History of The San Diego Virtual Death Cafe\nIn March 2020\, the state of California declared a state of emergency due to a novel human coronavirus that was highly infectious and deadly to vulnerable populations. People were required to avoid in-person gatherings. Schools\, churches\, libraries\, and cafes were closed. \nI received an email from Death Cafe hosts\, Mits Tomita and Frank Stefano\, asking if I wanted to be part of an online Death Cafe. I accepted the invitation\, and we hosted our first San Diego Virtual Death Cafe in April of 2020. At first\, it was difficult to navigate the technology required to host successfully. We had many hiccups and a “Zoom Bomb” or two that helped us learn how to be better hosts. \nEventually\, Mits’ schedule could no longer accommodate the time and day that worked for our attendees. Frank and I continued to co-host on the fourth Wednesday of every month. In the end\, Frank decided to hand me the reins\, and I continue hosting to this day.

SUMMARY:OC 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.
