Neurosurgeon and bestselling author Dr Eben Alexander never believed in life after death until he got a look behind the curtain when he experienced a Near-Death-Experience and came back to tell his story. When I came across his book while working through my own grief, I was blown away by the hope it instilled in me. Let his journey inspire you to look at death and what comes after from a new perspective.  For Show notes and links to books and further resources please visit www.learningtosaygoodbye.com A big THANK YOU to Reiner Erlings for the music.  www.reinererlings.com

What is it about the subject of death and grief that makes us so uncomfortable? We have been experts at avoiding the one thing we all face sooner or later. Death is something that happens to other people. But when it hits close, we are left scrambling.So, let’s talk about it. There is a lot to learn, not only about death, but about grief, communication and most importantly: life. Learning to Say Goodbye explores this tricky subject from all sides, covering views from different cultures, looking what religion and spirituality can teach us, hearing from people who have been through grief and close to death. We will learn how to help people going through loss, and how to talk about the one thing we all hate to talk about: death.
