The feeling and thought that our loved one is going to die is never a consoling fact. Therefore, anticipating grief is not a simple thing to do for everyone else concerned. Anticipating grief is the period throughout which a family member or a patient is expected to die. This sorrow is somewhat the similar to the after-effects of losing someone you love. The emotions felt are the similar feeling of loss and it just hurts as bad. It is no less different than when one has gone through an unexpected or tragic death of a loved one. It comes with some of the same emotions of shock, denial and guilt and is connected with social and cultural reactions regarding the loss.



And because some people are still in a state of rejection they may not go during anticipatory grief. Their grief will take place after the loss of their much-loved. The grief experienced earlier than the demise doesn't shorten the grief after the demise. It's still the similar sorrowful grieving procedure and it does not make any superior way to endure. The only distinction between anticipating grief and coping with a sudden loss is that it gives the complete clan some time to talk and spend the remaining time with the individual as well as accepting and coming to terms in the reality of their demise.

There is still time left to converse about things that were kept as top secrets. There is still time missing to make any amends to the existing relationships. There is still time left to lastly forgive any faults or mistakes in the past. And there is till time left to hear and complete the previous dying wishes of a parting loved one. This grief in anticipating the end of someone we love builds a great worry for the dying person, painful and sorrowful preparation of the departure of the loved one, and making the necessary changes in living without our dearest beloved.

When somebody dies suddenly and so unfortunately, the pain that goes with it could be more overwhelming than that of anticipatory grief because of the shock and trauma. There is not even a warning signal or no more time left to reminisce the past with the individual. This puts the bereaved in a corner to confront the unexpected which could minimize the coping capacities of that individual and make normalcy seem so far away. The impact of that great loss might be hard to visualize and may not be realized correct away. Thus, acceptance seems hardly discernible. Learning to believe the option of the passing of a loved one would leave you feeling that you are gradually abandoning that person.

Expecting the death might only build more emotional attachment to the dying individual even stronger which doesn't make it any way easier to accept the future. The dying individual on the other hand as well undergoes pain for leaving everyone and makes it more painful and unbearable for everybody involved. No matter how our loved one dies, it all depends on each individual and how much they cope with grief in their lives.
