Anticipatory grief is not often discussed.
Too many people struggle alone in an effort to protect the feelings of loved ones who are seriously ill and facing death.
You do not have to struggle with these emotions and experiences alone.

Yes, I experienced anticipatory grief for years as I watched my husband's health slowly deteriorate until December 29, 2024 I had to rush him to the ER who then rushed him to a local hospital's ICU and, then, sadly on January 6, 2025, I received a call at about 1:30 am that he was coding on them and "did I want to come over...How far away did we live?" So, I called our son, and his nephews and we all converged on the hospital, but never got to see him because they could get him back, but couldn't keep him back long enough for us to see him one last time. We were together since we were 19 years old; 18 if you count the year we dated and were engaged. We were 62. I will be 63 on Monday. My grief is debilitating, crushing because he was my world. I miss him so much!
