Summary
Following Kate Marshall’s first year in the mortuary at a north of England NHS hospital, with each month exploring the people she meets, in life and death, as well as her own growing awareness of life behind the veil.
- Meet Mr X found in his apartment months after his death, Mr X has no relatives that can be traced. He is the longest-serving resident of the mortuary, having been there for almost a year while the search for his elusive family continues. The staff talk to him like an old friend, but Mr X is disintegrating and a decision has to be made soon.
- Her baby girl has been lost in the 15th week of pregnancy, Mary’s last chance to have a child. Mary won’t allow Abigail to leave the mortuary until she has finished reading a book to her. She visits twice each day, sitting with her baby, reading to her, speaking to no one, until she finally opens up to Kate.
- A loving husband and father who has died suddenly of a heart attack. Joe is visited by his wife, his children—and his mistress. On the day that all his worlds collide, Kate witnesses how death can finally reveal the truth of years of lies.
Sorry for Your Loss is haunting, uplifting and informative, with many moments of laughter, and shows us that the way we approach death can make life all the more precious.

Interesting and heartfelt
Really enjoyed this book, it was interesting to hear about what happens after you die and how you are cared for in the mortuary. Some humour but always appropriate and I felt the author truly loved her job and really does care for the deceased. Makes death a little less scary by understanding the processes. Loved it

Thought provoking and comforting
I was initially a bit worried that listening to this would be a bit depressing and raise some fears but in fact it was very interesting and somehow comforting. Having worked in hospitals I had a reasonable idea of how a mortuary functioned but still learnt a lot. The narrator’s voice was perfect for the subject, calming and softly spoken. A great story well told.

So pleased to have read this story
I enjoyed (if you can ‘enjoy’) listening to a story about the end of life. Very interesting and beautifully narrated. The editing could have been a little better to avoid the numerous repetitions however, that said, the honesty, care and work involved portrayed by this hospital’s Mortuary staff was refreshing and heartwarming. Thank you for recording your thoughts and feelings for us all to share.
