Guest host Allison Pataki speaks to renowned grief expert and neuroscientist Mary-Frances O’Connor, who combines trailblazing neuroimaging work and field research, and beautiful storytelling in her new book The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss. Mary-Frances discusses the myth of the five stages of grieving (it’s not linear or finite!) and the fascinating brain science behind grief and grieving (from love bonding to uncharacteristic bursts of anger to believing, for a split second, that they are still alive). She also explains how we can best support those who are grieving and shares her best advice for aspiring authors.
