Description
When a loved one faces a terminal illness many start grieving before they pass.
This usually involves expecting death. Of knowing what’s coming. But since the pandemic began your clients are dealing with the unknown. They can’t predict who will contract COVID and what will happen if they do. And they’ve been unsure what will happen in many realms of their lives, leaving them feeling powerless to control what’s coming, but anticipating it with dread.
Now more than ever, we need to be prepared to work with anticipatory grief so we can help our clients process and cope even in the most trying times.
Join Dr. Erica Sirrine and get practical strategies for supporting clients and families facing illness or impending death of a loved one!
