Rob McConnell Interviews - GAIL RUBIN - A Good Goodbye

How do we face one of life’s most difficult realities—and find a way to approach it with dignity, meaning, and even peace? In this thoughtful and deeply human episode, Gail Rubin explores A Good Goodbye, offering a fresh perspective on end-of-life conversations, planning, and the importance of saying goodbye well. Drawing from her work as a death educator, Gail discusses how open, honest conversations about mortality can reduce fear, ease emotional burdens, and help individuals and families make informed, meaningful decisions. She explores how planning ahead can transform what is often avoided into an opportunity for connection, clarity, and even healing. This episode invites listeners to rethink how we approach the end of life. How can we prepare in a way that reflects our values and wishes? What conversations are important to have with loved ones? And how can facing mortality help us live more fully in the present? Join us for a compassionate and empowering conversation that brings light to a universal experience—where understanding leads to acceptance, and where a “good goodbye” becomes a gift to both ourselves and those we love.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.
