Welcome to Grief Unedited, a podcast that explores raw and authentic experiences of loss. Host Karen Lafferty, an accredited counsellor specialising in grief support, brings over a decade of experience to guide listeners through the complex journey of bereavement.

Through candid conversations with guests sharing their personal stories, this series delves deep into the realities of grief and its profound impact on individuals' lives. Each episode is recorded in a single take, offering unfiltered and genuine discussions that capture the true essence of the grieving process.

In this episode of Grief Unedited, Karen speaks with Dr. Suzy Peach about what truly happens in the final days and hours of life. Suzy explains the natural physical changes the body goes through like increased sleep, reduced eating, confusion, breathing changes, and the “death rattle” and reassures listeners that these signs are usually not distressing for the dying person. They discuss how families can bring comfort, why early conversations and care planning matter, and how understanding the dying process can reduce fear and trauma for loved ones.
