Grief has a funny way of stripping everything back. In this episode of It’s a Death Sentence, we dive into the idea that losing someone does not just break your heart, it reshuffles your priorities. We’re talking bucket lists, the things we still want to do before we die, and the far more liberating f*ck it list, the things we are absolutely done with.

From Tahiti and ballroom dancing to refusing to learn to ride a bike, we share what stays on the list and what gets thrown in the bin.

What We Uncover

- The Bucket vs The F*ck It List: Why grief pushes you to chase what matters and drop what never did.

- Liberation in Midlife: How caring less about judgement, trends and social pressure can feel like freedom.

- Present Over Perfect: Why being silly with your kids, booking the holiday and drinking the wine might matter more than ticking impressive boxes.

Grief forces perspective. It makes you question why you are saying yes when you mean no. Why you are saving the good stuff for later. Why you are shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable. When you truly understand that life can change overnight, the idea of waiting starts to feel ridiculous.

This episode is an invitation. Write the list of what you want more of. Write the list of what you are done with. And stop apologising for either.
