Losing a Mother Young: Grief, Music, and Healing (#74)

What does it mean to lose your mother at only 20 years old? Singer and songwriter Airick G faced that reality when his mother died of scleroderma after years of illness. Forced to cope with grief at such a young age, Airick turned to music and art as a way to process the pain and share what he couldn’t always say out loud.In this episode, Airick opens up about the struggle of not feeling “fully grieved,” the challenges of accepting loss, and how creative expression can become both a release and a lifeline. His story is a raw and honest look at what it means to carry grief early in life — and how art can transform even the deepest wounds into something beautiful.Watch full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/H5lwCmzz5EUFollow Airick on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/airickgeee/?hl=enListen to Airick on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lGNIGydODPbOUgNiaDkdL Support the Show Join the DEAD Talks Patreon for just $5 to support the mission—and get episodes early & ad-free!Hats, Shirts, Hoodies + More: Shop Here “Dead Dad Club” & “Dead Mom Club” – Wear your story, honor your people.Exclusive Discounts  10% off Neurogum – powered by natural caffeine, L-theanine, and vitamins B6 & B12 to boost focus and energy.About DEAD Talks  DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently.
