186 Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Loss and Love

Why is grief so complicated and why does grieving take such a long time,

possibly never ending? In The Grieving Brain (2022), renowned grief expert,

neuroscientist, and psychologist, Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, offers new

perspectives on understanding love, loss, and learning. Complicated grief sets in

when we cannot move into the natural healing process. Our brains need to

learn how to process grief and grieving, to deal with the paradox of our loved

one who feels here, yet physically is not here. Dr. O’Connor offers hope for how

we can learn how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
