Anticipatory Grief 101 - Virtual Event

Anticipatory grief refers to the grief and mourning that individuals can experience before the death of a loved one, typically when a family member or close friend is diagnosed with a terminal illness or when death is imminent. This type of grief allows individuals to begin processing their emotions and prepare for the upcoming loss, but it can also be complex and difficult to manage.

Anticipatory Grief 101 is a one-time introductory support and education session designed to explore common symptoms of anticipatory grief and provide encouragement and helpful coping strategies.

While this session is open to anyone in the community that may be experiencing anticipatory grief, caregivers may find this session especially beneficial. Anticipatory grief can be a common occurrence during the caregiving journey as a loved one’s independence decreases and care needs increase, which lead to needed life adjustments. Engaging with others facing similar circumstances and learning more about anticipatory grief can help combat caregiver fatigue and burnout.

Your entire team was amazing. They are very professional in their work but also have big hearts and it comes through in how they do their work and in their positive attitudes.

Thank you for making your home like her home, warm and comfortable.

Your kindness and efforts go far beyond the patients and extend to their families and friends.

Everyone who cared for my wife was, without exception, caring, kind, and exceptionally capable individuals who seemed to truly care about her well-being and care.

- Husband of a patient

Your staff (at Hospice Home) was confident, thoughtful, kind and very loving to my mom. When we couldn’t be there or take care of her needs, you took care of her.

- Son of a patient

My mother spent her last days in your facility. I want to thank you for the gifts you gave to her and our family. The dignity, caring, professionalism, and kindness will remain a bright part of our saying goodbye to our mother.

- Daughter of a patient

My family and I would not have made it without Hospice.

- Daughter of a patient

For many veterans, military service is the most important thing that they have done in their lives.” As part of We Honor Veterans, those patients are now paired with a volunteer who also served in the military and share a common bond.

- Joe Lyons, Hospice volunteer

Thank you for all of your care, concern, education and kindness during Mom’s last year. My grief journey has had a lighter backpack because of Hospice.

- A patient’s daughter

Their touch, their time, their words were the comfort of a lifetime.

- A patient’s family

We were privileged to have the support of (Hospice)…They nurtured and cared for my husband as if he was their only patient.

- Wife of a patient

Me consuela saber que mi esposa tuvo los mejores cuidados gracias a Hospice. La ayudaron a ella y a nuestra familia en todas las maneras posibles.

- Marido de un paciente

I thank God for putting good people in the right job for people like me.

- Patient family member

We were so impressed by your staff and your desire to help us. No one wants to need Hospice, but when a person does, it is a tremendous blessing. Thanks again for the care you gave my dad, and ultimately all of us.

- Daughter of a patient

I would like to say that you have a beautiful Hospice Home. It is so nice and serene. I love the “quiet spots” that you can go to and meditate. Thank you so much in helping make my mother’s last days on this earth a little better and comforting.
