Death, Grief and Finances, A Candid conversation with insights from Rob Brookes and David Billington

Join Rachel Surtees and myself, Phill Holdsworth, your co-hosts in this episode of Wisdom Chat Plus, and our guests’, Rob Brookes of Death & Disease and David Billington of Full Circle Funerals. They emphasise the importance of discussing and preparing for death.

They note that death has become a sanitised and medicalised subject, leading to a lack of conversation and knowledge around it, resulting in negative repercussions such as sleep disturbances, physical manifestations, and changes in mood.

We also discuss the difficulty of talking about death and grief, as it can bring up intense emotions, but stress the importance of being direct and open about the topic.

If you have been or are affected by bereavement or grief, there is help available through the MIND website: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/bereavement/useful-contacts/
