Let's talk about death. It's a conversation many shy away from, but it’s something everyone will experience. In Sorry for Your Loss, we explore the questions we often avoid: What happens to a body after it’s taken away? How do you talk about death with kids? And what should you say—or not say—to someone in their final days?
Hosted by author and former media executive Denise Donlon and death care professional John Monahan, this podcast aims to normalize the inevitable and help us all navigate the often uncomfortable conversations surrounding death.
Join us as we explore what happens when you die, how to prepare, the costs of death care, the options for sustainable burials, and how professionals like embalmers cope with working in a death-centered industry. Through expert guests and candid discussions, Sorry for Your Loss pulls back the veil on the world of dying and death, offering a sensitive and informative approach to understanding what lies ahead.
This podcast is your user guide to the end—or beyond. Join us on this journey.
