DEAD Talks My Family’s 9/11 Story: Grief, Healing & Resilience (#173)
I sit down with my family to recount our experiences from September 11th, 2001—the day we lost our father, and my mother lost her husband. Recorded at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, this raw and intimate conversation explores the initial shock, the lifelong impact of that day, and the complexities of grieving together as a family.
We reflect on the enduring emotions of loss, resilience, hope, and despair, sharing personal stories of pain alongside the strength that carried us forward. This episode offers a heartfelt look into the bonds of family, the power of collective healing, and the ways love endures in the face of unimaginable 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.
