Writing and Reading Through Grief

"What I wanted to do was make the distinction, as many people have, that grief is fundamentally a healthy sort of thing; it's human, it's not a disease, it's nothing you want to 'medicalise'. You don't want to treat it away, you don't want people to suffer unnecessarily, but you certainly don't want to take away the experience of that kind of re-establishment of a relationship."

In this BigThink video, Kay Jamison, Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, tells a personal story of grief after her husband died following a prolonged illness.
