Learning To Say Goodbye
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.

Episode 4
I believe there is magic in the sharing of personal stories; the sharing of life and loss, but most importantly of survival and love. There is not one way to get through grief and not one solution that works for everyone. We are all unique and our relationships and our heartbreaks are individual experiences. But how we deal with those losses might guide others, might offer hope and direction to those needing them the most right now.
Meet Ernst van Eeghen and hear his personal story of heartbreak and survival and what it took for him to get back on the road of healing.
