In this episode Mandy talks to best-selling author Cathy Rentzenbrink about her books on grief, in particular The Last Act of Love where she recounts what happened to her brother Matty and the eight years he spent in a state of severe neurological impairment before life support was turned off.

In Episode 1 of Series 3 Mandy and Yvonne talk to Elaine Gordon, who campaigned with Lucy Harrison to abolish the second post-mortem after her sister died. The second post-mortem was introduced as a temporary measure subject to a review which never happened and delayed Elaine's family's ability to bury her sister.

Mandy and Yvonne speak to Karen MacGregor, a journalist who works with Mandy who also lost her daughter Donna to road death. Karen reached out to Mandy when her daughter died. The three discuss support, return to work, helping others and more.
