ANTICIPATORY GRIEF: Loving While Knowing Goodbye Is Coming
Anticipatory grief begins long before goodbye, and it can be just as consuming as the grief that follows a loss.
The low-level sadness, the hypervigilance, the guilt, the exhaustion of loving someone you are already mourning while still showing up for them every day. Most grief resources don’t address this part of the journey.
This guide does.
You deserve support, even now, before the loss has fully arrived.

About the author
Hi, I’m Kate. I am a certified behavior consultant specializing in fear and aggression and a companion animal death doula and pet loss grief companion. I have supported families through behavioral euthanasia from both sides, as a behavior professional helping people assess difficult situations clearly, and as a grief companion sitting with them in the pain that follows. I know why this grief feels different from other pet loss, and I know why it can be so hard to talk about.
I can help. Whatever you are carrying right now, you do not have to carry it alone, and you will not find judgment here.
