Bonus Episode: A Meditation on Grief

This special bonus episode from It’s a Death Sentence offers a gentle, guided meditation designed to bring comfort, calm, and a sense of connection in moments of loss.Written and produced by Emma Skipp and Leon Payne, this meditation was created from a deeply personal place. Emma, who finds great comfort in guided meditation, wanted to craft something specifically for those navigating grief - a space to pause, breathe, and feel held.The meditation begins by guiding you into a state of deep relaxation through simple, soothing breathing techniques. From there, you are gently led into a reflective visualisation, inviting you to imagine your lost loved one beside you - a quiet, safe moment of connection.The soundscape has been carefully designed and tuned to 432Hz - often associated with healing and harmony - creating a warm and immersive listening experience. All music was performed and produced by Leon Payne and Emma Skipp, with natural birdsong recorded in Emma’s own garden adding an intimate, grounding touch.This 20-minute meditation is intended to be a soft place to land - whether you are in the early days of grief or carrying loss that has been with you for years.Take a moment. Breathe. You’re not alone.Credits:Written and spoken by Emma Skipp.Produced by Emma Skipp and Leon Payne.Music performed and produced by Leon Payne and Emma Skipp.Birdsong recordings captured in Emma’s garden.
