Grief is one of the most painful and deeply human experiences we go through. Yet for something so universal, it often feels impossible to fully understand. This week on This Changes Everything, Sarah sits down with Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, professor of Clinical Psychology and author of The Grieving Body, to explore why loss affects us the way it does. Dr. O'Connor shares insights on how grief changes the brain, how it manifests physically, and why healing rarely follows a straight path.
