An original, authoritative guide to the impact of grief on the
brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved "Dorothy Holinger's
exploration of the contours of grief is wise, moving,
thought-provoking, and, best of all, extraordinarily helpful.
Beautifully written and humane, it is a balm for the
bereaved."-Barry Bearak, Pulitzer Prize winner for international
reporting "What's central for Holinger is that turning feeling into
words, and giving voice to buried emotions, acts to release
tension. She is a passionate advocate for language as
healer."-Clair Wills, New York Review of Books Grief happens to
everyone. Universal and enveloping, grief cannot be ignored or
denied. This original new book by psychologist Dorothy P. Holinger
uses humanistic and physiological approaches to describe grief's
impact on the bereaved. Taking examples from literature, music,
poetry, paleoarchaeology, personal experience, memoirs, and patient
narratives, Holinger describes what happens in the brain, the
heart, and the body of the bereaved. Readers will learn what grief
is like after a loved one dies: how language and clarity of thought
become elusive, why life feels empty, why grief surges and ebbs so
persistently, and why the bereaved cry. Resting on a scientific
foundation, this literary book shows the bereaved how to move
through the grieving process and how understanding grief in deeper,
more multidimensional ways can help quell this sorrow and allow
life to be lived again with joy. Visit the author's companion
