From people who came through it
“I remember when Dad first got sick, I felt so alone. If you are starting this, know that the guilt you feel is normal. It does not make you a bad person. Find one person who gets it, even if it is someone online. And take photos of the good moments, even if they are rare. You will need them later. I am not going to say it is easy, but you can do it. I am here if you want to talk.”
Camila C · been through anticipatory grief“When my dad went into palliative care, I thought I had to be strong. I didn't. The waiting is the worst part. You don't have to fill every silence. Just be there. If you need to cry, cry in the car. If you need to laugh at something stupid on TV, laugh. It's not betrayal. Your person is still here. That's what matters. Don't plan too far ahead. Just get through today, then tomorrow. That sounds like something off a fridge magnet but it's the only thing that works. And find someone to talk to, even if it's just online. You're not the only one going through this.”
marisol.paper · been through anticipatory grief“If you're scared right now, I get it. In 2023, that was me. I remember every visit could be the last like it was yesterday. I picked up the guitar again. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Slow Birch · been through anticipatory grief“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. For me, dad is in palliative care. I picked up the guitar again. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
