In this episode of The Art of Showing Up, Jes explores anticipatory grief - the quiet sadness that arrives before something ends or changes. The kind of grief that doesn't come from loss, but from love noticing change.

This conversation is for anyone who feels sad about something that's still here. For anyone holding pride and grief at the same time. For anyone struggling with guilt because "nothing bad is happening," yet their heart aches anyway.

Jes names anticipatory grief without attaching it to specifics, offering listeners language, permission, and compassion for mourning what's changing - not because it was wrong, but because it was GOOD.

This episode doesn't rush healing or offer fixes. It offers space. And a reminder that loving something or someone enough to miss it early is not weakness - it's reverence.

LISTENER REFLECTION:

What am I already missing - even though it hasn't ended?
