What kind of grief describes the grief of a family member who begins the grieving process before a loss actually happens?
a. anticipatory grief c. dysfunctional grief
b. disenfranchised grief d. uncomplicated grief
A
Anticipatory grief is grief work that occurs before an expected loss actually occurs, typically by a terminally ill person and the person's family. While anticipatory grieving can promote adaptive grieving, allowing the bereaved to release emotional energy necessary for problem solving, it may also create distance between family members and the dying person so that they are unable to provide support.
