Death is a part of life, and if you’ve experienced the death of a close family member or friend, you may wonder if the pain of that loss will ever go away. So, what happens to our brains and bodies when we grieve? What should we know about grief in order to heal in the healthiest way possible?

We’ll explore those questions on this episode as we talk with Mary-Frances O’Connor who is a well-known grief expert, neuroscientist and psychologist. She’s also the author of a new book called, “THE GRIEVING BRAIN: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss”.
