  "textContent": "For most people, the intense ache that follows the death of a loved one eventually softens, and daily life resumes. But for some, the pain does not ease with time—a condition known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD).

The team highlights how disruptions in reward-related brain networks may help explain why grief persists in some individuals and illuminate how PGD differs from depression and anxiety.",
