In 2011, journalist Mark Longley's daughter Emily was murdered when she was 17 years old. This three-part series tells the story of Emily's life, and her death. It examines death and its impact on us - how we mourn, how we cope, how we treat the grieving.

We've interviewed people who have lost parents and partners, grandparents and children, and talked to friends, colleagues and academics to figure out why grief is so hard to process, why are we so awkward around those who are in pain, and what can we do to help people through it.

Death is a podcast about love, grief, and ultimately hope.

Clare Knapton ,

Hope

Such an incredibly powerful podcast. Well done. You speak so well of hope and remembering and keeping hold of joy in the depths of sorrow. Thoroughly recommend - although a hard listen at times. Definitely one that will stop you in your tracks and think carefully of those around you and what’s important.
