Grief Brain is like severe brain fog, but it’s caused by emotional trauma: you’re confused, forgetful, having memory loss, can’t access certain words or names, etc. In this episode, we explore WHY grief brain happens and how your brain reacts to the loss. Using facts and figures from authors and doctors Mary-Frances O'Connor and Lisa Shulmann, we explain that after a loss, the brain is fundamentally altered. Since the brain is interconnected, like a web, the rerouting or destruction of brain connections that occurs after a loss, makes it harder to access information or perform simple tasks. We learned that the brain doesn’t differentiate between grief and emotional trauma. Having grief brain while trying to finish college was a struggle, and we cover everything from telling our professors, to group projects, and graduation.
