Connecting in Our Community

Death Over Donuts at Crozet Library

We’re not going to sugar coat it—talking about death can be hard. But at Death Over Donuts, we make space for honest conversation. Join us for an afternoon of community, connection, and curiosity about life’s final chapter. Forget lectures; this is a round-table chat. In small groups, you’ll explore thought-provoking questions hand-picked by our Hospice of the Piedmont Death Doulas, swapping stories and insights in a space that feels as warm as a fresh cup of coffee.

Date: Thursday, January 22
Time: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. (Please arrive by 12:45 to settle in)
Location: Crozet Library, 2020 Library Avenue, Crozet, VA 22932
Price: Free admission. Coffee & donuts provided.

Trained Death Doulas will guide the discussion—no agenda, no judgment, just honest talk about living well, dying well, and everything in between. Bring your questions, your sweet tooth, and maybe a friend.
