Finding Healing in Community: The New Normal (#124)

Grief can feel isolating—but what happens when strangers come together to share their pain openly? That’s the idea behind The New Normal Charity, a community-driven space changing how we approach grief, mental health, and healing. In this episode, founder Benjamin May shares his personal journey of loss and trauma, why he started the movement, and how free, honest conversations can sometimes do what traditional therapy can’t.

About DEAD Talks

 DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
