Crazy Grief

Grief is what we experience when we’ve lost someone or something we treasured. But your parents are still very much present. So why do you find yourself crying over a nurse’s kind word, raging over a delayed email response, obsessing over the paint color for your mom’s new room? It’s called anticipatory grief, and it strikes at random, rendering usually rational adults into crazy, out-of-control versions of themselves.

In Saying Goodbye, Together, we’ll begin to understand the “why” behind reactions gone rogue, helping us make some sense of over-the-top behavior, give language to unrecognizable emotions, and extend mercy to ourselves and our families when hurting hearts act out.
