À propos de cet audio

 💀 It’s a Death Sentence 💀 A podcast about life and death — and everything awkwardly, hilariously and heartbreakingly in between. Hosted by two women in their 40s: one, an APT performing daily autopsies, the other; a professional singer! Both have stared grief in the face — historically and recently — and somehow learned to laugh anyway. A home for anyone who has lost someone . Because grief doesn’t just touch individuals. It ripples through families, friendships and whole cultural communities. It’s a Death Sentence discussions, shared stories, and interviews address unspoken rules, the strange rituals, and the quiet solidarity found when we are ready to mourn together 💔 Each episode dives into the messy, taboo, and occasionally gruesome 🩸 sides of being alive (and not). Expect sharp British sarcasm, uncomfortable honesty, and the kind of dark humour that makes you laugh just when you think you shouldn’t. They ask the questions we’ve all Googled in private — and answer them out loud. 🎙️ Tune in to laugh, cry, and get a little bit philosophical about what it means to live after loss.It's A Death Sentence Sciences sociales Spiritualité

  • The Christmas Holiday Effect: Surviving the Most Wonderful (and Hardest) Time of the Year

    The Christmas Holiday Effect: Surviving the Most Wonderful (and Hardest) Time of the Year
    Dec 13 2025

    Is it just another day… or the one day that can break your heart all over again?

    In this festive special of It’s a Death Sentence, we rip open the glittery wrapping on Christmas when you’re grieving. We explore the pressure to create “perfect” memories, the guilt of wanting to hide under the duvet, and why sometimes the best gift is permission to do Christmas completely differently.

    What You’ll Learn

    - The Golden Ticket: How to (guilt-free) dodge the big production when grief has already stolen the spotlight.

    - Old Traditions, New Rules: Why keeping some rituals and ruthlessly binning others can be the kindest thing you do for yourself and your family.

    - It’s Just Another Day: The surprisingly freeing truth that helps you survive December 25th when everyone else is posting #bestchristmasever.

    Stripped-back trees, shop-bought puddings, or full-on hiding until January - whatever gets you through the festive period, this episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to make Christmas whatever you need it to be. Because when grief is your uninvited guest, love looks a lot like lowering the bar and raising a glass to simply surviving.

    From itchy palms to shoes on the table, Irish mammies have a superstition for everything - but when death knocks, the rules get delightfully dark and downright bizarre.
