“For those struggling with grief, there’s no timetable. It can last months, years, or longer. There is no rush. Give yourself permission to take however long it may be to fully heal from your loss.”

“Understand there’s no right or wrong way to grieve, including anticipatory grief. It’s like the ocean. It ebbs and it flows. There can be moments of calm. But out of nowhere, it can feel like you're drowning.”

Or if it’s merely a futile attempt to prepare our hearts for something it can never truly be ready for. The begs the question, does anticipatory grief help us cope, or does it only deepen the wound?”

“The stability I had previously taken for granted was replaced by the pain that arrived when you learn that and you love is going to die. It was a deep sense of foreboding, a bodily knowledge of things to come that you would do just about anything to avoid.”
