***Sorry for being so late in responding, but I just saw the posts today! (I forgot to subscribe to my own thread! )
@CANDC Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful post. You gave me a lot to think about. I plan on looking up anticipatory grief since I'm not familiar with that. I also want to thank you so much for your words of sympathy for the loss of my dear Mom and for my dear Dad when he dies. And I am sorry for the loss of your dear Dad too. (((HUGS)))
@BethRags Thank you for your post! Both you and CANDC mentioned anticipated grief, that's something I've never heard of. That's interesting that it is enmeshed with anticipated anxiety, etc. which makes sense because it feels like at any moment a bomb is going to drop, so there's a constant anxiety.
@Blknblu Thank you for your post! I agree that it would be better to find a healthy release for loss rather than pasting over it, which sounds like repressing feelings instead of dealing with them.
