    What Happens Right Before Death? A Hospice Doctor Explains | Dr. Kerr (#258)

    What actually happens right before we die? In this episode, Dr. Christopher Kerr — a physician, neurobiologist, and leading researcher in end-of-life care — shares what decades of research reveal about the dying process. After studying patients for nearly 30 years, he’s found that over 80% of people report vivid dreams and visions as they approach death — often involving loved ones who have already passed. These experiences are not random, not chaotic, and not simply hallucinations. They follow clear patterns and are often deeply comforting. We explore the science behind these moments, what they might mean for consciousness, and how they shape the way we experience grief. This is a conversation that sits at the intersection of science, spirituality, and the human experience.

    How Do You Grieve Someone You Can't Remember? Simon Robert French (#252)

    How do you grieve someone you don’t even remember? Musician Simon Robert French lost his father when he was just two years old — too young to form real memories. Growing up, he was surrounded by stories, photos, and home videos of a man who shaped his life, yet someone he never truly got the chance to know. In this episode of DEAD Talks, Simon joins David Ferrugio to explore the complicated reality of grieving a parent you can’t remember. They discuss childhood loss, identity, mental health, and how music became Simon’s way of processing a grief that had quietly shaped his life for years. This conversation explores how grief doesn’t only come from the memories we have — sometimes it comes from the memories we never had the chance to make.
