The VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region (VNAHSR) offers a discussion group designed to address a topic many have difficulty talking about: death and dying. Death, Dying, & Danishes is holding a meeting on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 10am at The Bennington Community Market in Bennington, VT.

Led by Hospice volunteers, the objective of Death, Dying, & Danishes is to increase awareness of death and to encourage people to make the most of their lives. Sharing food creates a relaxed and nurturing environment where the group can join open, honest conversations to explore the questions about life, dying and grief. People of all ages are encouraged to bring their questions, experiences, and thoughts to the gathering. The goal is simply to provide a forum for community members to come together in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee, tea, and goodies to share thought-provoking and life-affirming conversation. The event is free and open to the public, but purchases are encouraged for host sites. Those looking for more information prior to attending can contact Ed Keating, coachedkeating@gmail.com.
