Public Event | Virtual Death Cafe
Join us for a virtual Death Cafe - an evening of open, lively, and insightful discussion about death for adults aged 18 and older.
While not a support group nor a venue for bereavement, a Death Cafe seeks to provide an unscripted, non-judgmental platform for those wishing to explore the many facets of this often taboo subject. Facilitated by Richard Davis, a long time Death Cafe organizer and hospice volunteer.
Come with an open mind, a healthy curiosity, and a willingness to share your thoughts, feelings, and questions with other like-minded individuals.
This is a virtual event on Zoom. Space is limited.
Questions? Contact Daryl at dcabrol@cambridgema.gov.

Public Event | Holding Space: A Framework for End-of-Life Doula Practice
Presented by Jason Kirchick, MPH, MSN, CNL, MEDSURG-BC // End-of-Life Doula | Oncology Nurse | Health Policy Advocate
What does it mean to truly hold space for someone at the end of life? Before we can accompany others through dying, we must first tend to ourselves—acknowledging our biases, sitting with our own mortality, and recognizing the profound opportunity each encounter offers.
In this interactive presentation, Jason brings together his unique perspective as both an oncology nurse and end-of-life doula to offer a practical framework for doula practice. Drawing on the nursing process (ADPIE), he’ll guide participants through a structured yet flexible approach to end-of-life care—from the first assessment through honoring the life after death.
This isn’t a lecture. Expect dialogue, case scenarios, and honest conversation about the topics that matter most: death etiquette, supporting children through loss, navigating family dynamics, and understanding Medical Aid in Dying. Whether you’re new to this work or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll leave with practical tools and renewed clarity about why we do what we do.
