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. Grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma or whatever it may be, DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about. You may cry; but, you also may laugh.

My sister died when I was 11 and she was 19. I had always blamed myself for her death, because she had been ill for 4 years. The night she died I prayed to God, to take away her pain and give her a white horse. (She loved horses). Then she died soon after my prayer. I never could get that out of my head. I was to blame! When I was 17, I woke up in the night to my sister holding my hand, and telling me it was OK. I didn't need to worry about her anymore as she was fine! I couldn't see her, but I felt her presence and smelled her lotion she always had on her body before she died. She disappeared to me, as I was still holding her hand. I'm now 72 years old and I remember it as if it were yesterday. ❤️❤️

one of the last things my Dad said before he passed with cancer was "i wish I'd had time to remove that tree. its an eye sore." 3 days after his passing there was a massive thunder lightening wind storm and at 3am, as i walked in the field, unable to sleep, there was a massive lightening flash n the crash of thunder that was deafening. in the morning, we discovered that tree was knocked the fup out🤣

My dad passed from Covid and he was in the hospital, my family went to go visit him I couldn’t go and see him in his state. After that my aunt visited him and he passed. I hate myself for not going, But a a few months later I had this dream it was too realistic I saw my dad in his regular outfit and he came and hugged me like he was really there. I started balling my eyes out and apologizing until he said. Don’t blame yourself and tell mama that I’m okay and that was the best sleep I’ve ever gotten. When I told my mom the next day she started crying too. I feel like he was really there though.

My mom went to heaven 12 years ago now. I went through a long depression lasting years and missed her soooo much all the time. She had been my best friend and biggest fan of my artwork. I would pray for God to give me just a glimpse of her to let me know she was well in heaven. And during morning prayer i suddenly had such a clear vision like i was there without my body. I saw a precious little girl about three years old with golden curls surrounding her face (just like i had at that age) and a silky ivory dress with lace trimming. She walked in a forest on steady feet looking for something. She smiled widely when she saw it and ran to pick a single lily of the valley flower, my mom's favorite flower (mine too). And then she ran out of the forest into a clearing. The most beautiful woman i have ever seen with a massive green velvet medieval gown and long thick strawberry red hair was there in the sunshine with a basket full of flowers and flowers woven into her hair. She set the basket down and lifted the child up high in the air and swung she around in a circle before she held her close. The little girl then tucked the perfect lily of the valley flower into my mom's hair. I came back to myself and cried for hours. I knew, just KNEW that the little girl was the child my mom miscarried when i had been 8 years old, between when my two brothers were born. Now i know my mom is more alive than she ever had been here in this life and I HAVE A SISTER TOO!!! I no longer fear death at all and look forward to the day i too get to go to my real home, Heaven.

My stepdad raised me since I was 4 and passed away in a tragic car accident when I was 13. I would cry and felt like none of my family knew how much I was hurting. Two days after thanksgiving I was crying and felt like I wanted to die I didn’t want to be around anyone or talk to anyone I was always mad. After crying for hours I ended up going to sleep and woke up to someone grabbing my leg it scared me so I sat straight up and my dad was standing through my bed. I tried to scream but I couldn’t it felt like sleep paralysis but as he grabbed my hand he started talking and told me he loved me and my brother so much and he was sorry he had to leave us. He told me to be strong for my mom because she needs me here. I was crying and begging him not to leave and he said remember everything I’ve taught you you’ll be just fine babygirl. He let go of my hand and I was saying please come back I miss you as I was crawling on the bed towards my window which he left out of. I was just bawling and It’s like I was asleep but I wasn’t I felt like I “woke up” and was in a daze.I was on my knees at the end of the bed by the window. I looked around and I wasn’t scared I just went right back to sleep.

When my mother passed from cancer. The police needed her ID and a voice in my head said “it’s in my check book” I said look in her check book. There it was. That was not my thought I don’t know where it came from. But it gave me a lot of peace.

My grandma passed away when I was nine a day after mother's day in 2007. It happened at approximately 3 am. Fast forward to last year, a day after mother's day, approximately 230-3 am and my water broke with my youngest son. I had no intentions of keeping my son because there was so much going on (my mom has cancer like my grandma) so I was considering adoption. I remember thinking of my grandma that day and how much I hated mother's day because it hurt too much, and fast forward to the middle of the night and my water broke and literally got the ball rolling. He came so quick I ended up delivering my son alone In my hallway waiting on my ride to hospital. I had more adrenaline than fear, because I feel like my grandma was there . She knew the pain the day always brought me on top of idea that I was gonna give my angel up and she had other plans. Now I'm planning my sweet boys first birthday party and watching all the love and spunkiness and joy he brings to me and his siblings. ❤

September 2021 I had covid and nearly died in the hospital. My papa promised to take me to Disney World if I got out of the hospital. I got out and 2 weeks later he was hospitalized with Covid. He passed away in the beginning of November 2021. I remember saying, "no, you can't leave yet. You promised." My nana kept the promise for him and we went to Disney World in the summer of 2022. And on our last night I fell asleep earlier than everyone else and I had a dream. My papa was sitting on the edge of my bed, rubbing my back and singing "You are my Sunshine." Just like he did when I was little. He looked at me and said, "see, I kept my promise." Then I woke up and I never had a dream with him since. That was my third dream with him in it leading up to the trip.

The biggest takeaway is “I wasn’t living my life for me.”
Her message is spiritually enlightening, invigorating and profound on so many levels.
She is so correct with the assessment of the need to be shaken from a life event, whatever type that may be, to arrive at a new perspective that wasn’t available previously.

When my dad was in the hospital dying he said every time he would start to fall asleep he would see a tunnel with different people at the other end. He saw two little boys holding hands. He knew I was pregnant at the time but didn’t know it was twin boys. He also saw my brothers mother (she’s dead) holding hands with a little boy. No one knew that my sister in law was pregnant with a boy at the time. Not even her

I had a stroke December of 2022. I didn't see anything before it happened, or hear anything. The stroke hit me way out of left field...no warning. Soon after, I was taken to a nursing and rehab facility. A minor anomaly of my trash can moving around my bed was the initial inspiration I got for my book. I now had a purpose for the rest of my life. In spite not being able to use my left side, I wrote the book I've been wanting to write for my entire life. Sometimes you just need a big shock to knock some inspiration into your brain. I'm very grateful that the stroke didn't kill me. It changed me completely, though, I will never be the same...and I'm good with that. My left side still doesn't work much.

When I was 8 I slipped out of a swing and flew through the air. I saw my aunt while the world slowed down around me she had died a few months before this. She told me that she loved me and I was going to be okay. I think about this experience all the time.

My dad died of an overdose and in the first couple weeks after he died, I struggled a lot with whether he went to heaven or hell. When we were planning his service, I had to find a poem/verse for those little memorial pamphlets you get at funerals.

I read so many poems and they were all varying degrees of cheesy, but one in particular was just way too much. It was called "Pennies from Heaven" and it basically said something like when you see a penny, you should pick it up because your loved one threw it down from heaven for you to find it. I literally rolled my eyes and kept searching.

Fast forward about a week after the service and I'm sitting in an ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics/Addicts) meeting. We were in a tiny room with chairs along all four walls so that we formed a square and everyone could see each other.

Anyway, about halfway through the meeting, this lady was talking and a penny fell from up above down to the floor right in the middle of this square. It fell with so much force that it bounced a good 6 inches when it landed, almost like it was thrown.

The lady stopped talking and then she said "Did anyone else see that? A penny just fell from Heaven." I'm sure there's a more logical explanation, but I like to believe that was my dad's way of letting me know he made it and to stop worrying.

I picked up the penny and I still have it.

My father died 3 years ago. Before he passed, I thought I could never live a day without. Ever since he died. I dream about him every night and we do all the things we planned to do before he left this earth. It feels like he isn’t even gone because I see him more now than I did when he was alive. I feel his spirit in my every day life and I know he’s my guardian angel.

I got goosebumps hearing her tell her story. I came here from the short. Because I couldn't grasp what she said. It was edited to be super confusing. My Grandfather died after a massive heartattack. And he said and kept saying that his mother who had been dead for 35 years at that time had hugged and kissed him and sent him back to earth because it wasn't his time to go yet. People kept saying it wasn't real it was just the drugs making him Hallucinate he hadn't really seen his mother. But the intern who was in the room as grandpa told me for the tenth or twelfth time how his mom hugged and kissed him and sent him back. And I said oh I know that must of been really hard to leave and go back to earth with Grandpa and grandma and everyone who you know that's gone. But I'm so glad for my own selfish reason that she did because I'm happy your still here because I need you still. And he patted my hand and said if I need him then it's good she did. He shut his eyes and drifter back to sleep. The intern said he believed grandpa really experienced that. And that he wasn't going to stop talking about it until he figured out why he came back. I was the reason.

My mom passed away on early December 2019 at the hospital. Me and my brother take turns to look after her. On the day she passed I was at home because it was my brother turns. I didn’t have the time to say goodbye/ company her in her last day.
However, on the day before Christmas, I dreamed about her, I slept on her room, and there she was. She already dressed up, and told me she need to go, I beg and hug her not to go because I still need her, but she said she can’t, and told me to take care my dad. I wake up crying and then realized, that was her way to say goodbye to me.

This resonates hard in a different way. 5 years ago I was involved in a serious car accident. My friend was driving, turned right and a car came into the passenger side where I was. I wasn’t pronounced dead or anything, but I woke up alone in the car and found my friend was outside hysterical saying she’d just killed me. that moment I woke up in the car, was like an epiphany. The only thing on my mind was “I am supposed to be here, I want to be here, I have a purpose and I have to get out of here because I want to live”. When police came to me asking where I was in the car and then they told me how lucky I was to be alive, and to be able to walk away. What made all of this really hit home is that I’d been in a really dark place at the time; and earlier that day to the same friend, I was having a bit of a meltdown over everything going wrong and I said “I could get hit by a car today and I wouldn’t give a fuck”… so damn specific. And 4 hours later I was hit by a car, and the universe showed me how much I truly care, and it’s been a journey since then, this was just the kick starter. Since then, my life has never been the same. And most importantly, ever since that moment, I’ve wanted to live.

My dad passed away almost 5 years ago now, not too long after his passing, around 3am, I heard someone knocking on my front door, the same exact way my dad would ring my doorbell or knock when he was alive. He had like a little tune he’d do before coming into the house. I looked all over the yard, absolutely no physical person was there. A few nights after, same time, I woke up to what sounded like a lot of kids toys falling out of the toy box, but nothing was out of order. There was a spot my dad kept the kids toys at the house, and that’s where the sound came from. It was loud and distinctive. I knew what those toys sounded like because my kids dumped that box out everyday to play. I knew it was my dad. We had a bond that couldn’t be broken. Every year I end up with a $100 for Christmas just like my dad ALWAYS gave me. It’s always a random $100 I’ll get. I know each time I get it, where it really comes from. ❤️

I was shot last December and was legally dead. I remember seeing bright lights, just so blinding. And I just felt this love. I can’t explain it. And as I was approaching the light I got pulled back into my body. The weird thing is people expected me to have a change or epiphany, but I don’t feel that way. I still don’t know how I’m supposed to feel.

Thank you for this. 5 yrs ago I had a near death experience and have struggled to deal with it and when I tried to talk to a neuropsychologist about it and he dismissed it and call it an “over exaggerated my symptoms”…that crushed me…but seeing this pod cast for the first time, I know what I experienced was real.
