Adrenaline is also released in the brain as a result of love. When a person is in love, they may stumble over words, sweat profusely, and experience heart palpitations. These are all results of adrenaline being released into the body. The feeling is very similar to that of panic/stress. Love is known to make the heart beat faster, cause pain around the area where the heart resides, and produce other symptoms associated with stress. Love is an emotional reaction that occurs when there is a significant attachment between two individuals. It can be romantic love, affectionate love, or familial love. All forms of love are positive, as it promotes cooperation within communities and protection from harm for those we love. However, like any emotion, love can also be negative if it causes us pain or discomfort. When someone we love dies, we go through a process called "grief". Grief has three main stages: acute, chronic, and recovery. Acute grief is experienced immediately after losing someone close to you, such as a spouse, parent, or sibling. In the beginning, you will probably feel intense sadness and despair over their death. You may even have thoughts about what might have been if things had been different. These are normal reactions to such a devastating event.
