## Sobre este episodio

Hello, Welcome to the episode of "Transforming Grief" where we will talk about anticipated grief. This type of grief occurs when we know that someone close to us is going to die, or even when the person has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and knows that their end is near. These types of situations can be very painful and trigger other types of grief. That is why it is important to be prepared to be able to accompany the person who is going through this situation. To begin with, it is essential to maintain an open and honest communication with the affected person. It is important that we let her/him know that we are available to help them in whatever they need. Listening to their needs, their fears and concerns, is essential for them to feel understood and supported at all times. In addition, we can offer our presence and our time. Sometimes just being by their side and sharing moments together can be of great help to the person who is going through such a painful situation. Another important aspect to consider is seeking professional help. In many cases, the accompaniment of a psychologist or therapist specialized in grief can be very beneficial for both the affected person and their loved ones. In conclusion, anticipated grief is a painful process that requires special attention and support. It is important to be prepared to provide emotional support and to seek professional help if necessary. Let's remember that time and love are fundamental at this time and that being present for the person who is going through this situation can make a big difference. Ligia M.
