7 Minutes In Heaven - Alpine Divorce
This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Chris explains the unique(ly messed up) concept of Alpine Divorce. Originated from a short story by Robert Barr, the term has a new horrible exemplar in the form of the late Kerstin Gurtner, left to die by her at-best-negligent boyfriend, Thomas Plamberger on a...
-
Burn the Witch
It should surprise noone that here at Death is Everything we are decidedly pro-Witch. It is a sad reality that long periods throughout history did not share our positive outlook, often using the accusation of witchcraft to harass healers, midwives, and women who did not fit the predetermined...
-
7 Minutes In Heaven- Death NOT By Sharks
This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven we continue our shark redemption arc by highlighting sea creatures who are even deadlier than the mighty shark. They may be diminutive in size, perhaps even of the Cute But Deadly variety, but beware, what they lack in stature they make up for in sheer lethality!...

Justice For Sharks
Welcome to Summertime at Death is Everything! We know the living isn’t as easy as it should be with record temperatures and scorching heatwaves throughout the world. There’s a good chance you’re headed to the beach for some aquatic escape, so let us relieve you of a common fear: you are almost...

7 Minutes In Heaven - Wash Tub Clown
Clowns are known for being bearers of mirth and joy. This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Marianne recounts the tale of one clown who was instead a gateway to despair and death in the form of the Yarmouth Bridge Disaster. Or maybe this was the Clown Agenda all along, for who knows what lurks beneath...

We Can't Synchronize
Ahh, childhood. For many of us, our early years can be seen as a time when the weight of the world had not yet been hoisted onto our collective shoulders. The days of playgrounds, toys, and the innocence of nursery rhymes. But upon further inspection, underneath those schoolground songs lie dark...

7 Minutes In Heaven - Now with more Ants!
We were so fascinated by our examination of ant death practices and had such great morsels of information left on the cutting room floor that we decided to continue the discussion for another 7 Minutes (in Heaven)! They may at times be an unwelcome nuisance, but it’s hard to knock a species with...

Feeling Unfinished
We spend a lot of time on Death is Everything espousing a death-positive outlook, but the prospect of death can be a terrifying concept. While it is perfectly natural to worry about death, it becomes problematic when these cycles of thought overwhelm and have a negative impact on daily life....

7 Minutes In Heaven - Candle Safety
We love candles here at DIE and are willing to bet there’s a good chance that you do too. Seriously, is the Venn Diagram of “death positive people” and “candle lovers” a circle?
