Grand Junction Coffee Shop to Host Group Conversation About Death

There's something special about a coffee shop. For many years, coffee shops have served as not only brick-and-mortar places at which a person can stop and get their morning caffeine fix, but they've also historically served as settings to enjoy live music, environments for business transactions, and the perfect place to gather and discuss any number of things with likeminded people.

Later this month, one of the most popular, yet somehow at the same time, hidden gems of coffee shops in Grand Junction, Colorado, will serve as the setting for a conversation about a topic that is as fascinating as it is uncomfortable - death.

An official Facebook post promoting the event describes it as follows:

Come sip tea, eat cake, and explore one of life’s most universal and often avoided topics: Death. This is a welcoming space to openly talk about death, dying and everything in between. There’s no agenda, no selling, and no conclusions, just open, respectful conversation among people who want to reflect on what it means to be mortal.

While some commenters on the post view the mere idea of a discussion like this to be morbid, many consider the idea to be a unique opportunity that could prove to be therapeutic. After all, whether we like it or not, death is a part of everyday life.
