This study provides more context on brain changes associated with Prolonged Grief Disorder https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... Dealing with grief doesn’t mean forgetting or letting go. It means finding support to help manage and live with your memories and feelings. Brennan Wood knows this first-hand, from losing her mother at 12 years-old to eventually leading the very center that helped her to heal. Brennan reminds us that grief and love can exist side by side, and that we carry the people we’ve lost with us, always. ****** We could not do this without community support.
