Grief can’t be ignored—it has to be felt. In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore the power of fully experiencing emotions as a way to heal. Ashley LeMieux, a grief and bereavement expert who has faced the devastating loss of a child, shares how acknowledging emotions without judgment can transform the grieving process. We discuss why society’s pressure to “move on” is harmful, and how allowing yourself to sit with pain can open the door to true healing.

About DEAD Talks

 DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
