This episode of DEAD Talks explores the hidden battles of mental health through the devastating loss of a sibling to suicide. The conversation dives into the emotional turmoil, long-term effects of grief, and the misconceptions around depression and suicide that often go unseen.

We discuss the importance of seeking therapy, addressing emotions directly, and the healing power of empathy and connection. The episode also highlights the urgent need for awareness, support, and open conversations about mental health, reminding listeners of the critical importance of reaching out—to loved ones, to community, and to ourselves.

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. ⁠
