#033. How do murder detectives cope with facing loss every day in the form of murder? In this episode we chat to Steve Keogh, a former Scotland Yard murder detective.
This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around loss and grief and to see if hope can be found in 101 different types of loss.
Steve retired from London's Metropolitan Police in 2021 and since then he's earned a following for his written and TV work, YouTube live videos about his time solving murders, and new to 2024 podcast and crime writing course.
This episode looks at what it’s like working with loss through murder on a daily basis, as well as the loss of a personal life to a vocation like working as a police officer and detective.
Loss #24 of 101 - Loss of life through murder
We had lots of questions for Steve around such a fascinating area of work and wanted to know if it’s anything like the exciting chase for a murderer that you see on the TV. He told us about what it’s like being the first on the scene for the 7/7 London Bombings, dealing with the families of victims, moments in court after long chases for a conviction.

BLOG: My Why: Disappointed with life
Expressing I'm disappointed with life is a new thing for me, but I'm learning it might be a healthy thing too. Maybe even the way forward.
Welcome to another My Why from Claire Sandys (co-host of The Silent Why podcast). My Why episodes are weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: thesilentwhy.com/post/disappointedwithlife
Mo Gawdat says humans are born happy. So what happens when we're thrown into situations in life that disrupt that happiness, and disappointment eases its way in? Can we live a life retaining happiness while weathering the storms? And can expressing our disappointment with life actually help us move towards happiness again? Just a few thoughts I'm mulling over in this episode.
