Episode Details

Kirstie Atherton, a mum from Widnes, traded her counseling career for a profound new mission: helping people plan their final moments with dignity and joy. After a 2020 epiphany, she became a celebrant, then launched Dead Positive CIC to reimagine end-of-life care. She spends precious time with terminally ill clients, honoring their wishes and offering emotional anchors for grieving families. Though the work is deeply emotional, Kirstie finds meaning in every moment, finding solace in her garden at home. Through bereavement cafes and peer-led spaces, she’s dismantling the somber myths around death, creating a community where grief can be shared, supported, and ultimately, embraced.
