When a loved one is nearing the end of their life and you know it, anticipating losing them carries its own unique set of experiences. You may go through a range of emotions and fears – anxiety, sadness over the loss of the future, fear of the actual death, to name a few. You may also have the opportunity say goodbye and make the most of your remaining time together. This time may or may not affect how you grieve once they’ve died. It’s important to find safe places to get support, share about your experiences and quiet your mind. That is what I offer through Grief Companioning – Letting Go.
