DEAD Talks Three Siblings, One Loss: Talking Grief, Family & 9/11 | DEAD Talks (#111)
What happens when three siblings sit down to talk about losing their father on September 11th? In this very personal episode of DEAD Talks, David Ferrugio and his sisters share their perspectives on grief, family, and how loss reshaped their lives in different ways.
Each sibling opens up about their unique grieving process, the memories they carry, and how their father’s death not only broke them but also brought them closer as a family. This heartfelt conversation touches on childhood memories, forgiveness, and the resilience required to keep moving forward after unimaginable tragedy.
For David, this episode is one of the most meaningful in the series — an intimate family dialogue that shows grief is never one-size-fits-all, and that healing can look different for everyone.
