  • S6 Ep6: Grief, menopause and saying the unsayable with Leslie Gray Streeter

    S6 Ep6: Grief, menopause and saying the unsayable with Leslie Gray Streeter
    Jul 14 2025
    What happens when the worst thing happens, and you survive? In this funny, fearless and deeply human conversation, journalist and memoirist Leslie Gray Streeter joins host Stephen Rumford to talk about life after the sudden death of her husband Scott.

    Together they explore what grief really feels like, the messiness, the humour, the fury, and the pressure to be resilient. Leslie shares how widowhood changed her, why she’s done saying sorry for taking up space, and what menopause and mourning have in common.

    From dating disasters to fixing-up houses, writing a book to parenting through pain, this is a joyful, direct and honest conversation about what it means to live on, with love, with sadness, and with no intention of keeping quiet.

    S6 Ep5: Why end of life care needs to change with Professor Allan Kellehear
    Jun 30 2025
    Dying isn’t just a medical event, it’s a deeply social one. In this powerful episode of The Life and Death Podcast, Professor Allan Kellehear, sociologist and founder of the Compassionate Communities movement, joins Stephen Rumford to explore how we can all play a part in supporting people at the end of life.

    From challenging our assumptions about what care means, to sharing stories of connection, meaning and even visions of near death, Allan invites us to see dying differently. This is a conversation about presence, belonging, and why we need a more compassionate, inclusive approach to death, dying and grief.

  • S6 Ep4: What is an end of life doula?

    S6 Ep4: What is an end of life doula?
    Jun 16 2025
    How can a doula support people who are dying and those important to them?

    Dr Emma Clare, chartered psychologist, end of life doula, and director of End of Life Doula UK, joins host Stephen Rumford to unpack the often misunderstood role of the doula. Unlike a healthcare professional, a doula offers emotional, practical and human support at the end of life, simply by being there, witnessing, and walking alongside.

    Drawing on her clinical training, academic research, and personal experience, Emma shares how doulas help people reflect on their lives, find meaning, and feel less alone in the face of death. Together, Emma and Stephen explore what it means to be truly present, why connection matters so deeply, and how anyone, not just professionals, can bring more honesty, care and calm to conversations about dying.

    This is a grounding, moving conversation for anyone interested in what it means to show up with compassion at the end of life.
