Grief Is Not Just About Death — Here's How Any Loss Gets Stuck in Your Nervous System

The breakup that left you unable to eat. The job loss that felt like losing your identity. The move that disconnected you from everything familiar. None of those are bereavement — and yet your nervous system responded to all of them exactly the same way it responds to death. Dr. Evette Rose has spent her career working with grief in all its forms — and what she shares about why any significant loss creates a shock to the system, how broken-heart syndrome is a real physiological event and not a metaphor, the vagus nerve breathing technique that interrupts panic in 60 to 90 seconds specifically during grief, and why co-regulation with other people is one of the most powerful biological tools for easing the loneliness that loss creates will give you the most complete and immediately useful framework for stabilizing your body and soothing your mind through any kind of loss.
