OCD may affect a person's quality of life, their functioning and relationships.

Anticipatory grief is the grief we are expecting to feel due to an impending loss or death of a loved one.

Anticipatory grief may be triggered by different life experiences such as getting a terminal diagnosis, of stage 4 cancer;

Or, caring for a child with a chronic disease or developmental disorder such as Autism.

Life-changing events such as an impending divorce, job loss, a child leaving home for college can all trigger anticipatory loss.

If you or someone you know is experiencing anticipatory grief, talking to a bereavement counsellor can help.

Anticipatory grief refers to grief that occurs before a loss. The term is often used in relation to death but can encompass the impending loss of things not related to death.

If you are a caregiver anticipating the impending death of a loved one you may go through these stages. The stages are not linear, but you may 'ping-pong' between them.

If you or someone you know is struggling with anticipatory grief talking to a mental health professional with training in bereavement counselling may be helpful.
