After battling the Balrog for 8 days, Gandalf defeated it, but in so doing also died. Something to note, Gandalf is not a normal person, he is an Istari, a group of being sent by the Valar to assist the peoples of Middle-earth in their battle against Sauron. (The short version is they're supernatural beings sent by higher powers)
By dying when he did, Gandalf had not completed his task of helping to defeat Sauron. In addition, his comrade Saruman had betrayed his order. And so, he was sent back to Middle-earth as Gandalf the White by Eru, the highest power in the Middle-earth universe. He returned 19 days after his death, and then he lay in a trance.
3 days later, the eagle found Gandalf. Lady Galadriel had sent the eagles searching for Gandalf. Upon finding him, the eagle took him to Lorien. There, Gandalf's wounds were treated, and he received his shiny new white robes. He then traveled to Fangorn Forest, where he joined up with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.
