A Postmortem of Grief

Understanding the Emotional and Neurobiological Nature of Loss

De: Robin McMurry

Narrado por: InSook Diamond

After the sudden death of her father, Dr. McMurry was unprepared for the intensity of grief that consumed her. She discovered that nothing in her medical training helped her navigate this experience. As a researcher, she set out to examine not only the emotional side of bereavement, but also the body's neurobiological response to loss.

This book is a raw, honest look at loss, melancholy, mortality, and hope. Gently weaving memories from her childhood with the trauma of grief, she constructs a framework based in scientific research. This book is for anyone who has experienced loss, as well as those who care for others who grieve.

Dreams

When listening to this book, it was reassuring to hear that negative dreams after loss are common. After losing my Dad, I had 2 horrifying dreams about him. I had heard people speak about pleasant dreams that brought them peace, but never horrifying ones. I felt that these dreams must represent something negative about my relationship with my father. This book was reassuring in so many ways. Thank you Robin McMurry!
