| Summary: | Coping with death and grief is one of the most painful human experiences.

As she did in The Grieving Brain, O'Connor combines illuminating studies and personal stories to explore the toll loss takes on our cardiovascular, endocrine and immune systems and the larger implications for our long-term well-being. |
