Life in Limbo: What Happens When We’re ‘Stuck’ in Grief? (Webinar)
About the event
This is the third session of the Grief Academy course When Grief Is Complicated.
When we love someone, they become encoded in our bodies and brains. And so, when they die, we feel this loss in every part of our being. In this session, renowned neuroscientist Professor Mary-Frances O’Connor explains what happens in our brains and bodies when we grieve, and shares some ways that we can begin to adjust to our new reality. In conversation with Yaa Yeboah-Newton, she also talks about how grief can be a form of learning that offers opportunities for growth and change.
In this session, we explore:
- How do our brains and bodies encode love and loss?
- Why do some people experience more intense or persistent grief than others?
- How can understanding grief change the way we experience it?
- In what ways can grief be a form of learning?
Our When Grief Is Complicated course offers immediate access to seven recorded sessions – and accompanying resources – on demand for six months. You can also join us for our launch session on 30 September (or watch back later if you can’t make it).
