Still growing from my loss. #shorts #loss

I still battle trying to figure out how death in my life has changed me. Plenty for the good and still reflecting on how the grief, loss and trauma changed me in not so great ways. My ability to love, to connect, to open up, my anxiousness and to not be defined from it but to continually grow.

From episode 70: September 11th Losing My Father. My name is David Ferrugio and I'm the host of DEAD Talks. This my 9/11 story and my experience losing my father on September 11th. My dad worked on the 105th Floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center with Cantor Fitzgerald. I was 12 years old when it happened and I share my perspectives of this experience as a 33 year old man today. I spoke unscripted, alone and from the heart. I hope this story resonates with some people and that I was able to express my thoughts thoroughly, as my goal was to keep it raw and honest. That day sucked for a lot of people outside of me. September 11th losing my father shaped my life forever and this is my story which inspired this podcast sharing other people's stories of grief and loss.

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. Grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma or whatever it may be, DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about. You may cry; but, you also may laugh.
