**Please disregard the audio disturbances; some equipment failed on me. My music guy fixed it to the best of his ability but it is not perfect. But I did not want to lose the vulnerability that was present in this episode by re-recording it. Thanks for the support as we navigate these issues <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This episode dives into the emotional challenges of anticipatory grief when a loved one has a progressive illness. Join me, your NHFAR host, and my good friend and fellow therapist, Kelly, as we explore the impact and emotional toll of witnessing their decline. We'll open up about the anxiety, guilt, and shame often involved in this under-discussed and frequently misunderstood topic.

We'll highlight the crucial need for support and open communication, as well as how to navigate those incredibly difficult decisions about care. A key point we emphasize is the importance of finding a grief therapist, as not all therapists specialize in this unique area and might overlook its complexities. Finally, we'll touch on perhaps the hardest question of all: How do we say goodbye when we don't know if it's the last time?
