At st. olaf college, talking about death is on this 'cafe' menu.

NORTHFIELD – Gloriana Ye wonders why her parents no longer wanted her to help clean her ancestors' tombs back in Taiwan.

Sitting in a small circle inside a stately classroom at St. Olaf College, Ye told a handful of other people how growing up, her family followed an April tradition where they'd visit cemeteries bearing gifts to honor dead relatives and cleaning supplies to tidy their resting places. She doesn't go along anymore, though: As she got older, her parents kept telling her they'd take care of it instead.

"I wish I can go," she said. "I wish I can learn more about my ancestors' legacy and be there to send my respect."

Talking about death and dying isn't easy, but St. Olaf students and faculty have tried to make it easier in recent months. Ye and other organizers have put on so-called "death cafes" in an effort to help people deal with a topic that's too often off-limits.

"It follows people," St. Olaf senior Grace Tillman said. "People bring that trauma with them all the time."

The concept started in 2004, when Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz decided to host a "café mortel" to create public discussions on the subject. His own wife died in 1999. The gatherings grew as more people adapted Crettaz's ideas; Jon Underwood brought death cafes to the United Kingdom in 2011 and created a website to spread the model.

A death cafe follows four general guidelines: They're always not-for-profit. They're held in a comfortable, confidential space. Organizers never lead participants to any sort of conclusion or action; the discussions flow on their own. And they always involve treats, preferably cake.

Ye brought the idea to St. Olaf, Northfield's resident Lutheran college of more than 3,000 undergraduate students on a bluff overlooking the Cannon River. A senior seeking her nursing degree, she worked at a nursing home where she heard many of the residents discuss dying and was struck by how little her college peers talked about death.

"It seems like there's a taboo when people talk about the questions of how and why lives end," she said.

The cafes have been a hit since Ye proposed the idea last fall. The university's Lutheran Center for Faith, Values and Community embraced it, providing space and funding for five cafes thus far. One was held just for medical students studying cadavers, while the others were open to the public.

The last one this year is scheduled for May 1.

"This space invites people to bring their whole selves, which includes their religious identity, their spiritual sensibilities, but it's not an explicitly religious space," said Deanna Thompson, director of the Lutheran Center. "Those spaces are where students can feel like they can explore these questions and figure out what it is they believe."

Ye and other interfaith fellows at the center run the meetings, asking open-ended questions for more than an hour on how people define death and what topics they'd like to discuss.

At Wednesday's meeting, a group of nine adults talked about the finite, inevitable end death brings to us all. They discussed what it feels like to watch a loved one die, what a good death means to them, what people should do to prepare for their deaths.

One person described how her grandfather's sudden death changed how her family planned for their future, and how her parents entrusted her with their burial plans. Another told a group how a grandmother drifted in and out of hospice care for a decade before dying at 104 — and what a relief it was for family members who no longer wanted her to suffer.

Yet another talked about how her son's church organized singing groups for people on their deathbeds, sending them off with song. And one person even pondered how she was going to follow her dad's burial plan to have a Viking-style funeral by setting fire to his body on a boat, which is illegal in Minnesota.

"People our age, we feel like we're invincible," said Caroline Anderson, another cafe organizer and senior majoring in psychology. "But death enters into your life at any time. You can't prepare for it."

College officials say they plan to continue the discussions next year, long after Ye graduates to take a nursing job at a cardiovascular ward in a Chicago hospital. They hope the lessons students take from these talks help them as they navigate their careers, their adulthood, and the rest of their lives.

"I definitely think we need a different way to talk about this in our culture," Ye said. "We're trying to reduce the friction so people aren't afraid to initiate these conversations."

Rostov-on-Don is the largest city in South Russia and the centre of Russia's Southern Federal District. Although officially known as Rostov-on-Don to distinguish it from the ancient city of Rostov , in speech it is usually just called Rostov as the bigger of the two Rostovs (the orginal Rostov is confusingly then often called Rostov-Veliky). Rostov-on-Don is closely associated with the Cossacks and is also referred to as the 'Gateway to the Caucasus'. In 2018 the city served as a FIFA World Cup venue.

Five-star Bayern roll over Rostov

Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Article summary

Robert Lewandowski's penalty was added to by Thomas Müller, Juan Bernat and two Joshua Kimmich strikes as Bayern won 5-0 to give Russian newcomers Rostov a harsh introduction.

Article top media content

Article body.

Bayern München produced a five-star display to dispatch group stage debutants FC Rostov, setting a new UEFA Champions League record with a 13th successive home win.

• Barcelona and Bayern begin in style
• Also in Group D: PSV 0-1 Atlético

Rostov did not help their own cause by giving away two soft goals in the first half, the first a Robert Lewandowski penalty and the second on the stroke of half-time to Thomas Müller, on his 27th birthday.

Bayern had hardly broken sweat in the first 45 minutes, but began to press harder in the second. The impressive Joshua Kimmich scored twice in quick succession before Juan Bernat added a fifth in stoppage time.

Key Player: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern) When Ancelotti announced that Joshua Kimmich would be in the starting XI, many assumed he would replace Philipp Lahm at right-back. Instead, the Italian put him in the heart of his midfield and the 21-year-old didn't disappoint. Not disheartened by two failed attempts on goal in the first half, the Bayern youngster continued to push forward to exploit the space afforded him and was rewarded with his first UEFA Champions League goals.

Bayern's depth Being able to rest key players like Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribéry and Xabi Alonso for a UEFA Champions League match is not a luxury many teams enjoy, but Bayern have quality in abundance. Kimmich has clearly given Carlo Ancelotti something to think about, while the Italian still has to fit Jérôme Boateng into a defence that is yet to concede this season. Kingsley Coman and Arjen Robben are also yet to return to bolster an already devastating attack. 

Rostov's rude awakening Rostov discovered just how big the gulf in class is in the UEFA Champions League, as they were outplayed in Munich. Naivety as much as anything cost the Russian side as they gave away an unnecessary penalty, which was converted by the prolific Robert Lewandowski, but the sucker punch was to come on the stroke of half time when poor defending presented Thomas Müller with a simple finish to effectively end the contest.

UEFA.com team reporters' views

Jordan Maciel, Bayern ( @UEFAcomJordanM ) A good start to the campaign for Bayern, who never really had to get out of first gear. Rostov gave a good account of themselves in the first half and will rue conceding the opener from a penalty and then again so close to half-time. Ancelotti will have no complaints as his side claimed all three points and a healthy goal difference ahead of another meeting with Atlético.

Richard van Poortvliet, Rostov ( @UEFAcomRichVP ) Rostov offered little in attack, which is understandable given the size of the task of playing against one of the best sides in Europe. However, it's imperative the side from the south of Russia become more streetwise in their remaining games if they are to have any hope of qualifying.

Match reaction

Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern coach It was a good start to our Champions League campaign. It was difficult to score early on, we didn't have many chances. We got there. At the moment the team is in good condition, both physically and mentally.

Ivan Danilyants, Rostov coach We have never played against a team that played like Bayern today. We tried hard to hold them off and stay organised then the first goal came from an unfortunate penalty. The rest from quick counters. This side is different to the one under Pep Guardiola: they are much more direct.
