From the Creator of DEAD Talks
You’re Not Dead Yet
How Grief And Loss Can Teach You How To Live
“Grief hasn’t taught me anything.
It has taught me everything.”
After losing his father on 9/11 at just twelve years old, David Ferrugio has spent decades exploring grief, death, and what comes after. Through raw storytelling and conversations from the DEAD Talks Podcast, this book offers something rare — not answers, but understanding.
About the Book
An honest exploration of grief, meaning, and what it means to live
This deeply personal yet universally resonant book doesn't offer easy answers or step-by-step healing guides – instead, it provides something far more valuable: honest companionship on the messy, unpredictable journey of grief and the profound insights that emerge from our darkest moments.
Through raw storytelling, spiritual exploration, and unfiltered human connection, Ferrugio weaves together his own experiences with wisdom gathered from hundreds of podcast conversations about loss, near-death experiences, and what it means to truly live while carrying grief.
Rather than presenting grief as a linear process with clear stages, he reveals it as a chaotic carousel of emotions that ultimately teaches us everything about what matters most. The book concludes with practical insights and perspectives that will help you discover your own path through loss and toward a deeper understanding of life's meaning.
