What happens to our brains and bodies when we’re grieving? Why is it so hard to truly understand that our loved ones are gone, even when we know it with our minds? How does grief change our relationships, our health, and even the way we experience the world? 

In the first-ever episode of The Pure Podcast, our Content Lead Sabine Groven speaks with Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor, grief expert, psychologist, neuroscientist, professor and author of The Grieving Brain and The Grieving Body, to explore these questions and more.

In the episode, we mention progressive muscle relaxation. If you want to try it, you can use this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=912eRrbes2g
