Description

Grief inflicts a profound mind-body toll, yet our culture rarely understands this connection. In this revealing episode, Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, author of The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing, pulls back the curtain on grief's surprising physical impacts.


You'll learn powerful ways to befriend your "grieving body" and navigate loss with more grace by radically tending to your mind and body's needs.
