Psychologist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor (@doctormfo) explains why bereavement is a serious medical risk and how grief literacy can help. “The day a loved one dies, you are 21x more likely to have a heart attack than any other day of your life.” “This period of transformation is incredibly risky… we need to get ahead of it with evidence-based information and support.”

I just made a donation to YWCA of Southern Arizona, doing amazing work supporting women, children and people of color with all sorts of empowering programs! You should too! ywcatucson-bloom.kindful.com/embeds/867cf99…

With a #NativeAmerican scholar in our #Grief, #Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) lab, we study #AmbiguousLoss from #MMIW/#MMIP and #loss from deaths of loved ones in the #Native community. Please pass on this survey, or take it yourself--we would be honored. redcap.link/MMIP

Fascinating #media article in the @washingtonpost about spreading ashes of a loved one, an ancient expression of #grief in a very modern context--Disneyland! washingtonpost.com/travel/2024/12…

Grief looks and feels different for everyone and can be present for various amounts of time. There is no right or wrong way to feel while grieving, but it’s important to know that support and resources are available: samhsa.gov/newsroom/obser… #NGAW #grief #GriefAwarenessWeek

Lovely review by @PublishersWkly of #TheGrievingBody: "by noticing signs of stress, readers can use the #grieving process to #heal both physically and emotionally—for example, by viewing reduced energy levels as motivation to prioritize what’s important. publishersweekly.com/9780063338906

I'm happy to share that The #GrievingBrain was selected to be part of Amazon’s #BlackFriday/#CyberMonday promotions! The hard cover is available at a 68% discount until December 2. Or give a copy to a friend, and start a conversation about #grief! amazon.com/Grieving-Brain…

My favorite new article using the #PublicHealth model for #bereavement #care. Our cultures (our family, neighborhood, town, workplace) has lost these skills, and we can activate citizens to relearn and share natural #compassion during #grief. apm.amegroups.org/article/view/1…

Collaborating on the #neurobiology of #grief led to this study about the #loss of an only child, or Shidu in China--showing the impact of prolonged grief on cognitive inhibition, mediated by smaller regional brain volume. #OpenAccess free article tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

For #OpenScience and reproduciblity, we need standardized protocols, and I'm excited to announce publication of two #neuroimaging protocols for #griefresearch! To identify robust neurobiological markers of #grief, download a copy of the article for free! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jmQb3IRiH3c…
