I'm just wondering about this. I'm reading a book, The Brain that Changed Itself, and one part talks about a neurochemical that causes the brain to stop caring so much about the person or people you're caring about and start caring more for others (either new people in your life or others who are around).

And it got me thinking that if they could put this in pill form, it could help people get over the deaths of loved ones or relationships that broke up, and move on with life.

And then I wondered whether people would want to use it, or whether they'd want to go through the grieving.

So, if a pill were available to help with grieving for the loss of a parent, spouse, child, sibling, close friend, even a pet, would you want to take it?
