About this listen

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

heartfelt and genuine

Wonderful book providing perspective on death and dealing with grief. It highlights how losa can manifest in countless ways and bring out the best (and occasionally the worst) in us. Engaging performance as well.

The whole book is amazing

As a care assistant/person who has lost a family member I think it’s a lovely book to know that even though after death someone is still caring for you and respecting you. Highly recommend!

Thought provoking and so interesting

Well Kate Marshall you have managed to give reason and motive for the chat that no one wants!!!! For that alone I thank you. I could have listened to your story for many more hours , the narrator was brilliant . I cried ,smiled and felt peoples pain, yet the comfort in your words was tangible. I shall be listening to this again one day, you were definately made for this job.
