Opwijk organizes a mourning café: "You should also be able to talk about grief and sorrow at the bar"
In Opwijk, a Rouwcafé is being held tonight to facilitate discussions about grief and loss in a casual setting. Organizer Wouter De Koster emphasizes the importance of talking about sorrow, even in a café environment. He notes that many people hesitate to approach those who are grieving due to fear of saying the wrong thing. The event aims to create a supportive atmosphere with grief experts and includes poetry and music to lighten the mood. It starts at 19:30 at Hof ten Hemelrijk.
