Her husband Saul died in a devastating car accident. But what happened next defies everything most people believe about death, grief, and the end of love. Before, during, and after the accident, Irene Weinberg began receiving profound spiritual messages — a directive from heaven — that cracked open a spiritual awakening so deep it transformed her entire understanding of life, death, and the soul.
Irene is the author of the acclaimed book They Serve Bagels in Heaven, which tells the extraordinary true story of her journey from unimaginable loss to spiritual rebirth. Her internationally award-winning podcast Grief and Rebirth: Finding the Joy in Life ranks in the top 2% globally, featuring conversations with grief specialists, trauma healers, psychic mediums, and near-death experience survivors. She is one of 60 thought leaders featured in the documentary What Every Soul Knows, and her newest anthology Good to the Last Drop! Embracing Your Life’s Third Chapter is a powerful call to live your final chapter with love, purpose, and absolutely nothing held back.
In this episode of The Miracle of Healing, host Lisa Campion sits down with Irene for a deeply moving conversation about what really happens when we lose someone we love — and what becomes possible when we open ourselves to the idea that death is not the end.
In this episode, we explore:
- Grief is not a destination — it can be a doorway to profound spiritual awakening, transformation, and a completely new relationship with life and love
- Irene received spiritual messages before, during, and after the car accident that took her husband’s life, including what she calls a “Directive from Heaven” that changed the course of her life
- There is no death — our souls live on, and understanding this truth can bring deep comfort and healing to anyone navigating loss
- The choice between remaining a victim of your life’s traumas and choosing to heal is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make — and it’s always available to you
- Soul mates and soul purpose are real — losing someone you love can actually deepen your understanding of why you’re here and what you came to do
- Humor and lightness are not the opposite of grief — they can be powerful medicine in the healing process, and giving yourself permission to laugh again matters
- Your life’s “third chapter” doesn’t have to be about winding down — it can be the most meaningful, purposeful, and joy-filled chapter you’ve ever lived
- Near-death experiences, mediumship, and spiritual encounters are offering humanity a consistent and powerful message: love is eternal, consciousness survives death, and we are never truly alone
- Being loving and kind to yourself is not selfish — it is essential for healing and for living a life that role models love and kindness to everyone around you
- No matter how deep your grief is right now, joy is possible again — not by bypassing the pain, but by moving through it with courage, support, and an openness to what’s beyond
