I speak to my marvellous pal Cynthia Wilkinson about her dead dad, about her dead husband, about what she thinks happens when we die and about how her husband came to be my surrogate dad.

She is a wildly successful half of a business duo that reformed the bespoke kitchen and furniture industry. She lives in a house that even your dreams can’t conjure up and yet, we are in the same club – dead dad club.

Is it ‘normal’ to keep a loved one at home for 13 days after they have died?
