Why grief is a natural response to love, not a disorder to fix
In short: Modern culture often pressures us to return to normalcy on a deadline. This video explores why mourning is a necessary process that can last months or even years.
Using insights from philosophy, psychiatry, and neuroscience, specialists Paul Bloom, PhD, Katherine Shear, MD, and BJ Miller, MD, view mourning as an essential reaction to loss. They examine how the brain processes grief in ways that resemble love and discuss how the societal rush toward 'normalcy' can actually make the experience of loss more difficult.
