Description

The Grieving Brain: A New Understanding of Love, Loss, and Learning Neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning. Her book offers a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human. O'Connor's research reveals why it's so hard to understand that a loved one has died and is gone forever, why grief causes so many emotions, and why grieving takes so long. She also explores the distinction between grief and prolonged grief, and how we ruminate so much after we lose a loved one. By combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge, O'Connor helps us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
