Into living this moment that\u2019s right before them. I tuned into a Hidden Brain episode  this week that discussed a recently researched concept of grief in a very personal way, as resilience researcher Lucy Hone told the story of her own nightmare - the death of one of her children. So, I wanted to pass her ideas on to you \u2013 as you might be one of those people who are struggling with grief \u2013 and not knowing how to get out from under its shadow. Our listener email is a from a listener who says he\u2019s been diagnosed with what\u2019s called \u201cschizoaffective disorder\u201d \u2013 and wonders if I know much about \u2013 or can help him with \u2013 intrusive thoughts that he can\u2019t seem to rid himself of.
