Most of us have experienced heartbreaking loss of some kind–of a loved one, a relationship, a home. The grief that accompanies such a loss can feel overwhelming. That’s because the brain encodes what we love into our brain, so that it becomes a part of us.
In our BrainHQ Academy webinar, “How Grief Affects the Brain,” Dr. Mouna Attarha gives a presentation about this process from a neurological perspective, and then is joined in discussion with Jill Johnson-Young, a Clinical Social Worker and Grief Recovery Facilitator.
Learning what is happening in the brain when we grieve won’t change the loss, but may help us bear it with better understanding.
