Compassion and Choices of CT
Compassion and Choices is working diligently to expand end of life care options in the state of Connecticut. MAID or Medical Aid in Dying is currently only legal in 12 states. Connecticut is still not one of them.
CT Green Burial Grounds
A local organization looking to promote green cemeteries and green burial in our state.
Death Cafe
At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.
Their objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
Death Over Drafts
Death over Drafts started with a brewing vision to bring people together to create meaningful connections by combining two passions—craft beer and conversations on end-of-life.
Death over Drafts is a casual and fun community event to spark connection and is part of a growing movement to destigmatize important conversations on end-of-life.
A terrific pairing with Death over Drafts is The Death Deck, a welcomed conversation starter that lets us explore a topic we’re all obsessed with but often afraid to discuss.
