What if grief and humor could live in the same sentence?

Nora McInerny has lived through unthinkable loss — a miscarriage, her father’s death, and the death of her husband — all within a short span of time. Instead of hiding from pain, she’s made it her life’s work to talk about it openly, mixing raw honesty with humor that makes grief just a little easier to carry.

Nora is the bestselling author of It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too), the creator of the podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, and the voice behind one of the most powerful TED Talks on grief: We Don’t “Move On” From Grief. We Move Forward With It.

In this episode, we talk about how grief reshapes identity, how humor can help us survive the unbearable, and why honesty in pain creates connection. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “move on,” this conversation will give you a new way to see life after loss.

We move forward with it". For more on Nora McInerny: ⁠https://noraborealis.com/⁠

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.
