Listen Later

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you were there? Can’t remember simple words, faces, or how to cook dinner? You’re not losing it — you’re living with something called grief brain. In this episode, I’m sharing what grief brain really is, why it happens, and how your mind is responding to the trauma of losing your child. I’ll tell you a few personal stories (including the time I forgot how to cook anything but plain chicken) and normalize the fog, forgetfulness, and confusion so many bereaved moms experience.

Key Takeaways:
  • The science behind grief brain and what's actually happening in there
  • The most common symptoms experienced by bereaved mothers
  • 7 gentle tips to help your tired, overwhelmed brain function just a little better.
