What happens when your mom’s heart stops — and she comes back with stories from the other side? In this deeply personal episode, I talk with my mom about her near-death experience after going into cardiac arrest in 2023.

She describes seeing my late father, feeling a love beyond words, and being told she had to return. We talk about what it means to live after dying, how it reshaped her faith, and how love continues beyond death.

Listen if you’ve ever questioned the afterlife, grief, or the meaning of being here at all.

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.
