The Science of Grief
Six audio pieces on what grief does in the body and the brain. About an hour and ten minutes to listen to the whole thing.
What is in the series
Why You're So Tired
The exhaustion sleep does not touch, and where the energy is actually going.
The Fog
Lost keys, missing words, a sentence that will not finish. What the brain is doing underneath.
Why You Keep Looking for Them
The part of you that still expects them in the doorway, and why that is the brain working correctly.
Why a Song Can Put You on the Ground
Why music gets past every defense you have, and what to do when it lands.
The Body's Bill
What carrying this costs physically, and why the invoice tends to arrive late.
The Swing
The back and forth between loss and living, and why it is the shape grief actually has.
A short start and a short close sit around the six.
Who this is for
This is for the person who has been told to give it time and would rather be told what is happening. If you have wondered whether something is wrong with you because you cannot think straight, cannot sleep, and cannot stop scanning crowds for a face you know is not there, this is the explanation nobody handed you.
What you get
Six audio pieces, about an hour and ten minutes to listen to the whole thing.
Every piece downloads to your own device, so it stays with you without a login.
Every word comes in print as a PDF, with the research behind each piece and a page on when grief needs more than company.
A note on what this is
I am a grief practitioner trained in somatic integration, not a therapist. This is education and company. It is not treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional mental health support.
