The "drive" series is dedicated to the Prevention of Suicide and Motivation of Grief. 

The the first episode in this series called "How do you start and get help--The Physiology of Grief" is a more vulnerable but also scientific episode as Dr. Jennifer Coomes talks about her own loss of someone special to her recently through suicide and how to work through the initial stages of grief.   She talks about the physiology of grief as it is related to peri-trauma responses that increase stress responses, affect cardiovascular and nervous system health, emotional/mental health responses, sleep, appetite, and more.  Dr. Coomes talks about how to get control of the monster in grief to help you embrace self care and healthy processing to reduce physical and mental health stress that can be associated with increased risk of disease.   Grief can be an uncontrollable physiological response depending on the person, the level of grief, and the degree your nervous system responds and reacts to the loss, but there is a way through.  It is important to ask for help and take a step forward, and this podcast series will help you on the journey.
