Living with dying is a podcast where we try to smash the taboos around death and dying and open up the subject. We'll all encounter death at some stage so why are we so shy of talking about it? I'm Dilys Morgan and when my husband Michael Barratt died last year I felt really lost. We'd been together 47 years and he was 19 years older than me - so I should have been prepared! But as I stumbled around trying to rebuild my lie, I felt there was so much to learn, and I wished he and I had spoken about it more.Join us here for some healthy chat around death and dying - and surviving a loss.Finalist in the 2024 BBC Make a Difference Awards
