— Amanda Stern, How to Live (blog)

I found it extraordinarily helpful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading
This is thoroughly recommended for anyone suffering bereavement or close to someone suffering - I belief it will help.Heart wrenching in places but very useful in understanding the process the brain goes through.
5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant read
A fantastic read which is proving to be so helpful in the grief journey of my clients
5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable research from a compassionate scientist.
I heard a talk by the author and wanted to read a fuller account of her work .
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Mary-Frances O'Connor. is one of the pioneers of the study of the neurology of grief through mapping the grieving brain using functional MRI scans. She has published many scientific papers, but this book is for people who are grieving , and are perhaps confused by their feelings, thoughts and actions. Only a truly great scientist who really understands their subject, could write with such clarity for a general audience. Her explanations for our grief and grieving are both surprising and reassuring.Mary-Frances writes openly and honestly about her own grief and depression, and about her personal relationships. Yet it's not egocentric, it reaches out to others with passion and humour, set in the context of how our grieving brains work. Her enthusiasm for teaching others shines out of the pages - the teacher we all wished we'd had. As someone who also teaches about grief and writes books, this is much appreciated.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one
Learned a lot from this book. You can also find her videos on You Tube.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book
This is a quite brilliant book to read if you have recently been bereaved or suffered loss. It helped me hugely and I’m about to read it a second time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful
I have not finished reading this yet, but for me it is being very helpful for me to understand how my brain is working now, after losing my partner whom I loved very deeply all the years she was with me. It contains detailed reasons why I feel as I do and helps me to understand my feeling,and how to react to them.

Obwohl es noch nicht auf Deutsch vorliegt, war es einfach zu verstehen. Klar formuliert, gut strukturiert, kein überkandiedeltes englisches Vokabular.
The Best Grief Help
Another fabulously informative book from this author. Enjoyed reading through it learning the signs of grieving and how to help myself. Mostly it helped me to realize that what I was experiencing was normal. It helped me through a very rough time. Thank you to the author. A+++
Good book
As a psychologist of 35 years, I liked the conceptualization. The idea of cognitive maps is an interesting means of conceptualizing grief, reminds me of the work of Tolman.
Great read
A really factual look into how the brain processes grief. I found it really helpful in understanding the “why” behind the emotion. Thanks for sharing this with the world.
helps the grieving process
really helped
