When you think of "dying" what comes to mind? What kind of personal experiences do you have with the process? How do these shape your ideas about what you want your own dying process to be like?
Maybe you've had conversations about these questions with friends, but have you ever discussed them with the people most likely to be directly involved in your dying process? Have you thought specifically about dying in Japan, a super-aging society where resources might not be able to keep up with the demand for end of life care?
Taking inspiration from a cultural change movement that started in the US, Third Space Tokyo and End of Life Care Association of Japan are co-hosting a "Death over Dinner" evening at Shibaura House. Our dinner will be modest -- just pizza and beer -- to encourage reflection on the importance of human connection when resources are scarce. We hope that you will join us for this rare opportunity to share and be supported through conversations about dying.
UPDATE: For a report on this event, visit the Community blog on the SHIBAURA HOUSE website.
