Why It's Hard to Say Goodbye
By Andrea Lu
ScienceNOW Daily News
27 June 2008
With all the heartache it causes, why do some people have so
much trouble letting go of their grief? In an ironic twist, new
research shows that the brain's pleasure center may be to blame.
Most people, when confronted with the death of a loved one,
mourn intensely for a few weeks or months and then gradually
manage to move on. A small percentage, however, become
debilitated by the loss and can't resume their normal lives; they
experience what psychologists call complicated grief.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which measures
blood flow to various parts of the brain, has shown that grief
activates regions of the brain associated with processing pain.
However, no study had yet observed what happens in the
brain during complicated grief.
In the new work, which will be published in the 15 August issue of
NeuroImage, researchers led by clinical psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor
of the University of California, Los Angeles, looked at 23
women who had lost a mother or sister to breast cancer within the
past 5 years.
Based on a clinical *****sment, the researchers divided the women
into complicated and noncomplicated grievers. They then showed
the women a series of 60 pictures that paired a photo of a stranger
or the deceased loved one with either a grief-related word (e.g.,
cancer) or a similar-looking but emotionally neutral word (e.g.,
ginger). The purpose of the words was to make the images of
relatives seem fresh, even if the women had already viewed
them several times on their own.
As expected, fMRI revealed strong activity in pain-processing
areas of the brain when the women saw photos of their relatives
or grief-related words.
No such effect appeared when subjects saw neutral words or
photos of strangers. The surprise came when women diagnosed
with complicated grief looked at a picture of their relative or a
grief-related word: In addition to activity in pain-processing areas
of the brain, these women showed activity in the nucleus ac***bens,
a region of the brain linked to pleasure and reward.
The findings could mean that the brains of women with complicated
grief have not properly adjusted to the fact that their loved ones are
gone, O'Connor speculates.
When humans become attached to someone, they derive pleasure
from the attachment, and their nucleus ac***bens activate, she
notes. And because that area is also active when women with
complicated grief see reminders of a dead relative, it may signal
that these women have a harder time accepting the death of a
loved one than noncomplicated grievers do.
At the very least, says O'Connor, scientists may now have a
clinical marker that can help them distinguish among women
with complicated and noncomplicated grief.

"The day may come when the rest of the animal creation
may acquire those rights
which never could have been withholden from them
but by the hand of tyranny.
The question is not can they REASON,
nor can they TALK,
but can they SUFFER?" -
- Jeremy Bentham
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised
for the good of its victims,
may be the most oppressive.
Those who torment us for our own good
will torment us without end,
for they do so with the approval of
their own conscience." -
- C.S. Lewis.
"Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny",
Aeschylus (525BC-456BC),
Agamemnon.
"If you talk with the animals, they will talk with you
and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them, you will not know them,
and what you do not know you will fear.
What one fears, one destroys."
Chief Dan George
All truth p***** through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
-Arthur Schopenhauer
"Thank you for fighting the fine fight--
even tho it's a hopeless task,
in this system of things.
As long as man is ruling man,
there will be animals (and humans!)
abused and neglected. :-(

"If you've got them by the balls
their hearts and minds
will follow,"
John Wayne.
