About this listen
thanks for taking the time to give feedback. If you have a topic that you would like me to address, I hope to get to it as soon as I can in future episodes.
In this episode of Hope After Loss: Conversations on Grief, Marilyn Burns explores what happens in the brain during grief and why overwhelming thoughts can feel so powerful.
When we experience loss, the emotional brain moves into protection mode. Thoughts like “I can’t do this” or “I won’t survive this” can feel very real, but they are not a reflection of your strength—they are your brain trying to help you cope with something overwhelming.
Marilyn gently explains the role of the emotional brain and offers simple ways to reconnect with your senses and begin to feel grounded again.
If you have ever felt lost in your thoughts while grieving, this episode will help you understand why—and remind you that you are stronger than you think.
You are not your thoughts.
You are not alone.
