The grieving body : how the stress of loss can be an opportunity for healing / Mary-Frances O'Connor.
"Coping with death and grief is one of the most painful human experiences. While we can speak to the psychological and emotional ramifications of loss and sorrow, we often overlook its impact on our physical bodies. Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor specializes in the study of grief, and in The Grieving Body she shares vital scientific research, revealing new insights on its profound physiological impact. As she did in The Grieving Brain, O'Connor combines studies and personal stories to explore the toll loss takes on our cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems and the larger implications for our long-term well-being"-- Provided by publisher.
