Sudden Death and Anticipatory Grief
Captions available
The idea
Sudden deaths bring more intense grief, while anticipatory grief, grief before an expected death, can make adjustment somewhat easier.
In practice
Dementia caregivers grieving before death over lost communication and the changed relationship.
Where people slip
After sudden or traumatic deaths, the risk of self-harm and suicide rises, especially in the first year; anyone affected can call or text nine eight eight, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
