Teeth Become Weapons: Trans Grief and Rage

Tuesday February 17 at 7 p.m. EST

Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized.  Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival.  Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared.

What makes this grief unique?  What do we grieve?  How does that grief affect us? What prevents us from engaging with that grief?  How does our grief connect us and bring us together?

Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities.

Guest Facilitator Imogen Reid is the last of the feral trans women, a proud dirtbag, degenerate, and fuck up. She is a harm reduction advocate and educator, a former founding member of Communities Organizing for Harm Reduction, one of the first organized groups in Ottawa doing harm reduction before there were any safe sites.
Imogen is a recovering drug addict, survivor, fighter, activist, shoplifter, parent, story teller, and the holder of the memories of her dead.
She is a visual artist, photographer, shitty punk musician, and author whose work explores themes of bodies, gender, queer desire, poverty, trauma, drugs/addiction and her own very weird life on this hell world we call home.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions, stories, and complexities to share.

There will be optional time for sharing about the experience itself or what you’ve written and some additional prompts for continued writing practice. Participants are also invited to submit completed letters to a queer grief zine for publication.

Psychic Death and Transitions
Tuesday December 16 at 7 p.m. EST

Badly Licked Bear loves death. As a transsexual person, as an Indigenous person, as an adoption survivor, as someone who works with the knowledge of the body and of bodies, death is a constant companion in her work.

Participants will be held in exploring psychic deaths, what it means to be “once dead and twice born,” and how our sexuality often skirts, confronts, plays with, or outright embraces death.
What does it mean to bring death and the process of death consciously into one’s daily life and practices?

Grieving Medically Assisted Deaths

Tuesday November 18 at 7 p.m. EST

Medically assisted death is becoming more common globally, and yet there are few places to share about this experience. Join us as we discuss our experience and share about our loved ones who chose medically assisted death at the end of their lives.

Some questions to consider:

How did you support or interact with the decision making around this choice?
What opportunities has this choice opened up?
How did this compare to other deaths you’ve experienced?
How does it feel to know ahead of time when a loved one will die?

About the session:

The dead can leave behind so much stuff, from a few sentimental items, to entire homes stuffed to the brim. What to do with it can be complex and filled with multiple complex emotions. This is a space to explore our relationships with the physical objects left behind by the dead, what to keep, what to pass on, what we are having hard feelings about, and what we celebrate.

Medical Assistance in Dying

We will be joined by two guest speakers from Dying with Dignity Canada who will lead us through the choices that come up around accessing medical assistance in dying. In Canada (and likely elsewhere), there are important concerns tied to the way MAiD is made available while other life-saving supports are not. Although the presentation will not focus on these aspects, the presentation will be followed by discussion where we can ask questions and share experiences about MAiD and how it relates to our lives. Expect engaging discussions and a supportive community to share your thoughts and experiences.

This session is for people curious about MAiD, who are considering it for themselves, or with loved ones who have accessed or applied for MAiD.
