Anticipatory Loss

Medical professionals say it is terminal.

There is nothing else doctors can do; it’s only a matter of time…

You are torn between witnessing the tremendous pain they are going through but also wishing for a miracle.

You are watching life slowly drain from them. The person you once knew and loved is already gone.

You completely rearranged your life and dove into caring for them.

You have given all of yourself, given every ounce of strength and energy.

The daily work is tiresome. The tension feels relentless. You feel numb.

It’s a mixture of mourning the future you expected to have while trying to make the most of the time you have left with them.

A constant state of sadness, anxiety, and loss even though the person you are grieving is still alive.

Sometimes, you find yourself wishing it would just happen already.

Then, you are struck with intense guilt; you wonder what is wrong with you; what kind of person wishes for death to come?

What kind of person does this make you?

It makes you human.

Together, we will find meaningful ways to manage these complex thoughts.

Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, I will help you develop greater optimistic thoughts, as well as reframe the intrusive ones and adjust the beliefs you have about the loss.

Walking through this minefield of emotions, you will once again feel peace.

You will always miss them…

You can release the burden of guilt. You can experience peace and calm again.

You will feel the weight of blame and guilt lift off your shoulders and be able to smile when you remember the happy times with your loved one.

Finding a new sense of meaning and purpose in your life is within your grasp.

You do not have to go through this alone.
