The Grieving Brain

In this fascinating conversation with author, psychologist and neuroscience researcher, Mary-Frances O’Connor,  we learn what happens in the brain when we experience loss and grief.  She expands the understanding of grief by sharing her discoveries of how our brain participates and responds to our loss. Dr. O’Connor explains, both here and in her book, information that is “power enabling,” because her research shows why we must be patient with ourselves (and our brains) during the grieving process. This is a fascinating conversation that will normalize and validate the common human experience of grief.
