Dilys Morgan’s husband Michael, a familiar TV personality to anyone watching the BBC in the 70s and 80s, died aged 94 at Thames Hospice after a short illness. Dilys wanted to help other people living with bereavement, drawing from her own experience and others. Two years on from her husband’s death in 2022, Dilys, a former BBC journalist herself, launched and hosts her podcast ‘Living with dying: Let’s talk about death’.
Dilys says, "When my husband Michael Barratt died last year I felt really lost. We'd been together 47 years and he was 19 years older than me - so I should have been prepared. But as I stumbled around trying to rebuild my life, I felt there was so much to learn, and I wished he and I had spoken about it more."
