Are you grieving before the loss even happens?

That heavy feeling of sadness, worry, and fear is called anticipatory grief—and it can be just as painful and confusing as grief after a loss. Whether you’re caring for a loved one with a serious illness, facing a breakup, or bracing for a major life change, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

In this video, I share what anticipatory grief really feels like, why it matters, and practical ways to cope—so you can care for yourself, stay present, and find meaning in the moments you still have.
