Broken Heart Syndrome: How 9/11 Grief Can Still Affect the Heart 25 Years Later

As the nation marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks, the emotional pain remains deeply felt by many victims’ families. Severe grief doesn’t only affect how someone feels—it can also trigger a physical stress response and, in rare cases, a serious condition known as “broken heart syndrome.”

Board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Alexandra Kharazi joins Alicia Summers to explain how grief can affect the heart, why anniversaries may revive the body’s response decades later and how holding a specially weighted Comfort Cub may provide a calming sense of comfort and security.

This anniversary, the bears are being given to 9/11 families as a tangible reminder that their grief—and their loved ones—have not been forgotten.
