Café TODquatschen: Open conversations about life and death in Castrop-Rauxel!

The TODquatschen Café of the outpatient hospice service invites you to an open exchange about the end of life on the second Sunday of every month. In a casual atmosphere with coffee, tea and cake, participants have the opportunity to discuss topics such as "How do I want to live? How do I want to die?" to speak. This initiative is organized by the Caritas Association Castrop-Rauxel and is aimed at people who want to deal with the difficult questions surrounding death and dying. The next event will take place on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in the Glass Pavilion, Wittener Straße 145, Castrop-Rauxel.

With this café, the spouses of the outpatient hospice service offer a valuable platform to discuss death in a protected environment. The service is free and no prior registration is required, making it easier to access this important topic. However, as the Caritas Association Castrop-Rauxel emphasizes, the café is not an acute crisis or grief support service.

Regular meetings and exchanges

The Café's regular meetings take place on additional dates including:

• Dienstag, 6. Mai 2025, 17:00 – 18:30 Uhr
• Dienstag, 3. Juni 2025, 17:00 – 18:30 Uhr
• Dienstag, 1. Juli 2025, 17:00 – 18:30 Uhr

This initiative aims to create a space where people can share their concerns and questions about the end of life. According to Hello Herne, it encourages an open conversation about death, encouraging participants to express their own thoughts and feelings.

Interest in such offerings is growing as more and more people realize how important it is to talk about the end of life. The TODquatschen Café offers an excellent opportunity to talk to each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

For further information about these events or the outpatient hospice service, the friendly staff are always available to answer questions and offer support.
