DEAD Talks Hospice Nurse on Deathbed Visions, Afterlife & Her Book Influencing Death with Nurse Penny (#187)
Hospice Nurse Penny returns to DEAD Talks with her unfiltered perspective on death, dying, and what the end of life really looks like. With years of bedside experience, she shares stories of deathbed visions, spiritual encounters, and the profound lessons the dying teach the living.
In this episode, we cover:
- The reality of working in hospice and what patients reveal in their final days
- Competing beliefs about the afterlife and how they show up at the bedside
- How Penny’s work has shaped her view on life, loss, and love
- Insights from her brand-new book, Influencing Death
Penny doesn’t just talk about death—she normalizes it, humanizes it, and shows why the end of life can be the most meaningful part of the journey.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
