Like other Dementia caregivers, I'd also experienced anticipatory grief during my journey. Caregivers can undergo these feelings when their loved ones are alive. 💔

Anticipatory grief is exactly what it sounds like--you are anticipating the death of a loved one. In some ways, it's easier than sudden death, but you may have spent years waiting for your loved one to die. And that is hard. It's grief of a different type. #deathanddying #anticipatorygrief
