DEAD Talks The Emotional Tides of Grief, Hallucinations & Healing | Yasmine Aker (#117)
Grief comes in waves — and sometimes it brings experiences that are beyond explanation. Yasmine Aker shares her extraordinary story of loss, beginning with a near-death-like spiritual experience that shaped her beliefs about heaven, hell, and what comes after we die. After losing her father, she encountered unusual hallucinations and a unique grieving process that pushed her to explore life, death, and spirituality in unexpected ways.
In this episode of DEAD Talks, Yasmine joins David Ferrugio to open up about the bizarre and powerful moments that shaped her healing journey, the lessons she’s learned about grief, and how her story can help others process loss. Beyond her personal experience, Yasmine is also known for her acting roles on Good Trouble, FBI, and more.

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.
