The transformative effect of honest communication in times of grief

Visiting with loved ones who are ill can be a difficult but incredibly healing experience. It's a chance to make things right, to say the things you might not have said before, and to connect on a deeper level.

You are your own caregiver

You need to take care of yourself. You need to keep up with your medications and doctor's appointments and consider speaking to hospice nurses or therapists of some sort. Because you are going through as much as your loved one, only you're watching it on the outside.

What is anticipatory grief?

I would describe it as pre-grief before death. Although the feelings may be very much the same. It's the waiting, it's the not knowing.

First night in our bed without him. It’s incomprehensible that he’s gone for good. So very grateful I’ve got our 6 month old for company.

Day 1 of #widowhood done.

Feeling strangely numb.
