When Richard Gosling's young daughter faced emergency surgery, a colleague
carelessly asked what would happen if she died. In that moment, Richard was
forced to picture his own daughter's funeral, and the people who are there to
help families after the worst has happened.
Aged 40, Richard left his job in the public service and started preparing
coffins, driving hearses, assisting in the mortuary and bringing in the deceased
from hospitals and nursing homes, slowly working his way up to become operations
manager of a venerable Sydney funeral home.
After the Worst Has Happened lifts the curtain on a world we all try to avoid
but must pass through. It shows the lighter side of death amid all its other
facets, as Richard steers families through heartbreak, anger and grief while
holding space for love and acceptance. Ultimately, it's about how
extraordinarily beautiful it can be to spend a daily life surrounded by our
final rite of passage.
