BLOG: My Why: Seeing my first dead body

Have you ever seen a dead body? I hadn't, until just a few weeks ago. Welcome to another My Why blog from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast. My Why episodes are audio versions of my latest blog post. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/seeingmyfirstdeadbody 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. 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. I have to say, the thoughts I've brought away with me are very different from what I expected.
