🎧 Episode Title: The Different Types of Grief — Anticipatory Grief
Podcast: The Grief Guardian Podcast
Host: Grant Cosgrove
Grief doesn't always begin with death—sometimes, it starts the moment we know loss is coming.
In this episode, we explore Anticipatory Grief—the emotional response to a loss that hasn’t happened yet, but feels just as heavy. Whether it’s watching a loved one decline from a terminal illness or facing a life transition that signals an ending, anticipatory grief is a deeply human experience.
You’ll learn:
What anticipatory grief is and how it shows up
The signs and symptoms (emotional, physical, mental, and relational)
Common causes—from illness to major life changes
Coping strategies that can help you find peace while still holding on
If you’re struggling with a loss that hasn’t happened yet, this episode offers understanding, compassion, and real tools to help you move through it.
Next episode: Collective Grief — when communities and cultures mourn together.
