Grief neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor explains how the grieving brain processes loss, why loved ones become encoded as “everlasting,” and why you may still reach for the phone or expect them to walk through the door. Discover how the brain gradually relearns a world changed by loss—and why grieving is not forgetting, but learning a new relationship with someone who is gone.
