Co-Hosts: Judy Gaman, Walter Gaman

Guest: Mary M. McCambridge “Mary Mac” 

 

Today our show is about how to overcome grief. We are all about staying young and healthy, but when you lose a loved one it can take a toll on your health and in some cases the stress can age you dramatically. We have a special guest coming up, author and speaker Mary McCambridge also known as “Mary Mac” with some great tips for working through grief.

 

• Talk about our own experiences with loss and grief.
• Stories of patients and couples
• What health risks come with loss of grief? Exhaustion, inability to think clearly, loneliness, substance abuse
• One study found that the incidence of an acute heart attack increases 21-fold within 24 hours of the death of a loved one, before declining steadily with each subsequent day.
• In another study, British researchers found that older people who are grieving are more likely to have weakened immune systems and develop infections.
