My Dead Mom Called Me: Colin Havey on Grief, Signs & Afterlife (#226)

What if your dead mom called you years after she passed? Comedian and storyteller Colin Havey shares the unbelievable moment he received a phone call from his late mother on Mother’s Day—and how that changed his beliefs about grief, love, and the afterlife.

In this raw and moving episode of DEAD Talks, Colin opens up about hospice moments, mysterious signs, leftover energy, and why he no longer fears death. David Ferrugio and Colin dive into how time doesn’t always heal, the guilt that comes with loss, and how choosing meaning can reshape grief.

If you’ve ever wondered about signs from loved ones or how to live lighter after loss, this conversation will move you, make you laugh, and maybe even make you believe.

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.
