Mortuary Worker & Death Blogger
And just like that, my Level 4 Diploma is (hopefully) complete and I patiently await the news of whether I have passed. This began at the start of 2022 and it has not been the easiest of qualifications to try and navigate while weaving around other areas of my life and work. I do not yet feel... Continue Reading →
This is my fifth attempt at writing the opening of this post, which is somewhat upsetting considering what I mean from the title. The point is, I decided a couple of months ago that I would attempt a project. An idea I have had for some research, a very widespread and ambitious piece of research... Continue Reading →
I have hosted a huge number of Death Cafe events, seen them into and through the pandemic, and assisted with the switch from in person meets to online.

Note-written Friday 23rd September, have since left Liverpool! Every year it seems that the season changes, the children go back to school and I start to become very busy. I don't just become busy, but I also start to get the need to travel and wander. I'm writing this from a hotel room in the... Continue Reading →
Wellbeing and self care have felt like buzzwords in many ways of recent times.
