A renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking
discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve,
providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and
learning. For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled
when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the
dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache
feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on
this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist
and psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating
new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human.
O'Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on
the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience
accessible through her contagious enthusiasm, and guides us through
how we encode love and grief. With love, our neurons help us form
attachments to others; but, with loss, our brain must come to terms
with where our loved ones went, or how to imagine a future that
encompasses their absence. Based on O'Connor's own trailblazing
neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life
stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science
books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical
knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we
grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
