Saying Goodbye is a Canadian television drama anthology series, which aired on TVOntario in 1990.[1] The series consisted of five half-hour short drama films about people grappling with death, either dealing with grief after the death of a loved one or confronting their own mortality. Each episode was paired with a half-hour studio panel discussion on bereavement moderated by Roy Bonisteel.[2]

The series was also sold on videotape for use in palliative care and grief counselling education programs.[3]
