Summary:
"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, 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
' combines storytelling, accessible
science
, and practical knowledge to help us better understand what happens when
we
grieve and
how
to navigate
loss
with more ease and grace." --Jacket.
