In what ways can an understanding of grief aid people in loss navigation?

Question

How can understanding grief help someone cope with loss?

Answer 1

I have Dr O'Connor's book "The Grieving Brain" on my bedside chest for many years. It's a must read for everyone.

Answer 2

What a wonderful amount of information on all levels. Thank you!

Answer 3

One of the best episodes - I enjoyed the speaker a lot

Answer 4

I love your conversations, regarding grief. You’re helping me out.

Answer 5

It's my podcast and I'll cry if I want to (or not).  I did. What a brilliant human being. Thanks a lot for this.

Answer 6

My daughter died suddenly when I was 39 weeks pregnant with her. The grief is overwhelming and earth shattering and then 2 years later, I lost my beloved cat at 18 years old. It left me with an inability to connect with anyone.

Answer 7

Please do an episode on Mold Illness and CIRS!

Many people would benefit from this.

Answer 8

I am really grateful!
After the previous episode on loss/grief understanding guided my journey (Dad passed Dec 24)
I remember thinking an episode with Mary Frances would be amazing … and here we are … at exactly the right time
Keep the good work going

Answer 9

My dad died 10 months ago. It’s been insane. We held a celebration of life for him and that party went late into the night, the way my dad would’ve preferred it I think. We must bolster our faith systems to seek positivity within grief.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Humans truly don't deserve dogs, and yet they love us the way they do.

Answer 13

This may be a selfish request, but would you consider adding a small note to your document to all of us who love the Huberman Lab and deeply appreciate all the work you’ve done? I don’t think I’m alone in saying that, when the time comes, we will all be grieving your loss.

Answer 14

guys I'm literally crying rn... was about to end it all last month after losing everything (job, relationship, savings). Found a book Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley the same day through a big podcast. The quantum field chapter hit me so hard I couldn't sleep. Started applying the frequency techniques and I'm not even joking - within 9 days my ex reached out, got offered my dream job (150k+), and my anxiety completely disappeared. I never share personal stuff but I'd feel guilty keeping this secret when so many are struggling. The way Selene explains manifestation through quantum physics is EVERYTHING. If you're reading this, it's a sign from the universe. Trust me, understanding the science will change your entire reality. I'm living proof ✨

Answer 15

In my opinion, this is the main reason we are here. Learn how to forget, let it go. Welcome to The Mourning Project!

Answer 16

What an amazing episode ❤ hope she comes on again!

Answer 17

thank you so much!

Answer 18

This is what I think about having a non traditional life and not a partner. So, when you lose your primary attachment figure, grief and death feels especially vulnerable.

Answer 19

Andrew! Thanks for asking exactly the question I wanted to ask again and again… I lost my husband suddenly a year ago, and still can’t understand how I’m supposed to mange this hard time of grief (my own and my teenaged kids grief) without him by my side.

Answer 20

❤ Thank You ❤
