The Science & Process of Healing from Grief

Huberman Lab

NOTE

Our relationship map is obliterated

Grief is the process of unbraiding and untangling that relationship between where people are in space, in time, and our attachment to them./nWhen somebody, or an animal or a thing is taken from us, either by decision or by death, or by circumstance, our entire memory bank and our ability to predict where and when they will be, and therefore when we can feed our attachment to them again, that whole map is obliterated, except that the attachment itself has not been disrupted./nAssuming that you are deeply attached to someone or an animal or a thing, that attachment persists. And the grief process is one in which you have to re order understanding of them in space and in time. This is very, very hard to do, and for some people, it's almost impossible to do, at least at the outset of grief.
