Learning To Say Goodbye: A memoir of grief and trust

Learning To Say Goodbye is a deeply intimate memoir about grief, healing, and the unexpected ways love returns to us when we think we've lost it forever.

After an unimaginable personal tragedy, Alexandra Dionisio begins a journey that takes her from Berlin to Dubai, from the Seychelles to California - places where the physical world and the mystical quietly intersect. In moments of profound vulnerability, she discovers that endings are never as final as they seem.

This is the true story of a woman whose greatest heartbreak became the doorway to her spiritual awakening.

As an end-of-life doula working with dying children and animals, Alexandra witnesses extraordinary forms of connection, presence, and grace. These experiences begin to mirror her own internal transformation, revealing that grief is not something to "get over," but something that reshapes us into who we are meant to become.

Through lyrical storytelling and vivid, cinematic scenes, she shares the signs, synchronicities, and unexpected encounters that guided her through darkness toward meaning, purpose, and service.

Learning To Say Goodbye shows that love continues in ways we can't always explain - and that healing is possible, even when the path forward feels impossible.

This memoir is for anyone who has experienced loss, felt suspended between worlds, or searched for a more compassionate, soulful way to navigate life's hardest moments. It's a book about resilience, intuition, and the quiet miracles that accompany us when we dare to listen.
