Grief emerges naturally after you lose someone and finds a place in your life, and it's really with you essentially for the rest of your life in some form after that. And that's one of the big differences between grief as a reaction and say in the emotions like anxiety or depression or anger or whatever.
The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our lives upside down, bringing with it a wave of grief and loss that many are struggling to cope with. In this episode of 'Shrink Speak', Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman sits down with Dr. Katherine Shear, a leading expert on grief and the founding director of the Center on Complicated Grief at Columbia University. Together, they tackle the challenging topic of how the pandemic has altered the way we experience and process grief. Dr.

From understanding the risk factors for prolonged grief disorder to finding ways to integrate memories of lost loved ones into our lives, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
Whether you're personally grieving or supporting someone who is, you'll find compassionate guidance and support in this heartfelt conversation.
