Are you interested in sparking conversations about the end of life with a group of friends, family, colleagues, or even strangers? Postal Service for the Dead is an ongoing, collective project where people send letters to anyone in their life who has died. It’s one way to engage the often challenging topics of death and grief. Creating art together is a useful tool for difficult conversations, as it allows people to express themselves in a fun and supportive way. Back in April, we hosted our first public program for Grief in Public Day. We collaged cards and wrote letters to people who have died. It was such a fun and meaningful event and we wanted to share details as an event template, so anyone can organize their own letter writing party.
