My Family's 9/11 Story

My family and I recount our experiences from with 9/11 attacks where my sisters and I lost our father and my mother lost her husband. We had the honor to record this conversation at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, where the tragedy occurred. We discuss the initial shock, our individual grief journey, our grief as a family, our moments of hope and despair, and the enduring impact of that day on our lives. We explore our individual perspectives and collective strength, sharing stories of resilience and the unbreakable bonds of love. This poignant episode captures the complexities of grief and healing, offering a raw and intimate look into the lives forever changed by September 11th, 2001.

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.
