If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/seeingmyfirstdeadbody<br/><br/>A few weeks ago I did some work experience at a Funeral Directors. One of my many reasons was to get up close and personal with death. Why? Well hosting a podcast on grief and loss was a major factor, so when the opportunity presented itself, I took it.<br/><br/>In this blog/episode I reflect on what it was like to see a corpse, what thoughts and feelings it stirred in me, and what bigger questions it raised in my mind.<br/><br/>I have to say, the thoughts I've brought away with me are very different from what I expected.<br/><br/>To hear Chris and me chatting about our work experience listen the episode 'Wales, work experience, bitey flies, chips and Dave': <br/>https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/78783914/wales-work-experience-bitey-flies-chips-and-dave<br/><br/>And to find out more about what it's like to work with loss and death on a daily basis in the Funeral Industry, listen to Loss 43/101: Loss of life for a Funeral Director: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/7abc6ce6/loss-43101-loss-of-life-for-a-funeral-director-jonathen-harty-and-chris-lord-brown <br/><br/>Support the show-----<br/><br/>Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn <br/><br/>Support the show through: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhy <br/><br/>Review the show: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Goodpods <br/><br/>More about the hosts, our childless journey, photos of guests, blog, and official 101 losses list: thesilentwhy.com <br/><br/>What's a Herman? - thesilentwhy.com/herman<br/><br/>Tips on how to help and talk to griefy people: thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrieving<br/><br/>Episode transcripts and support the show: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>Thank you for listening.
