Dead Dad Podcast

Comedy


What’s it like if someone shoots your dad in the head at work? Alex is here to tell us exactly what it is like. His dad was not a military man but instead a solicitor in sleepy Devizes. I try to unravel and understand how the shock of such a tragic crime sends ripples through a group of family, friends and colleagues. Alex and I chat about being seemingly fine when stored up grief will come and hunt you down to remind you to deal with it – often at the most inconvenient times.   We talk about the oddest little things that can trigger bouts of sadness. We talk about advice for people facing their first taste of dead dad club membership. We also reflect on how the ‘fury’ at losing a parent translates into a smoother and calmer day-to-day life. We both find that losing someone you love in an unexpected way makes you take out your own insurance policies – you tell your remining loved ones exactly how you feel about them.
