Transforming the 9/11 Tragedy into Life | David Ferrugio

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes a global one? In this episode, I’m joined again by my friend David Ferrugio, and he shares how losing his father on 9/11 at just 12 years old shattered his world and forced a profound rebirth. We explore the illusion of control, how family members grieve on different paths, and the profound, sometimes loud, signs from his dad that confirmed we are never truly gone. David’s new book, You’re Not Dead Yet, is a masterclass in transforming grief into a life fully lived, and our conversation is a powerful reminder that while loss changes us, it doesn't have to end our story.00:00 The Day That Defined a Generation01:31 Introducing David Ferrugio and His Story03:27 Sponsor: Spiritually Informed Therapy04:36 The 12-Year-Old Boy Who Lost His Father07:38 A Grief Shared with the Whole World11:19 The "Death" of the Person You Were15:32 The Illusion of Control After 9/1120:32 Choosing Gratitude Over Fear26:39 How His Family Grieved Differently31:36 A Wink from Dad at the 9/11 Memorial35:43 The Man Screaming "I Love You, David"40:20 The Follow-Up Sign on the TV44:17 Mental Health and Spiritual Sensitivity47:35 The Most Profound Lesson: Self-Grace51:12 Introducing David’s Book and PodcastLEARN MORE ABOUT DAVID FERRUGIOhttps://www.deadtalks.net/Subscribe to my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/dramyrobbinsJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
