DEAD Talks Losing Both Children to a Drunk Driver: A Father’s Story of Grief & Healing (#151)
What happens when a father loses everything?
Colin Campbell faced the unimaginable when a drunk driver killed both his children, Ruby and Hart. In this powerful episode, he shares his story of grief, love, and survival — and how he learned to live again while carrying unbearable loss.
Colin’s book, Finding The Words, offers raw honesty and a new way of looking at mourning: facing grief openly, embracing memories, and allowing sorrow and love to coexist. His message is one of courage, healing, and the importance of not turning away from pain but learning to carry it.
This conversation is a deeply moving exploration of parental grief, resilience, and the human capacity to keep going after devastating tragedy.

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.
