    Thank you for this video and worksheet. I am currently dealing with anticipatory grief and my 34 year old son is battling stage 4 brain cancer for the second time in his life. He survived 13 years cancer free from the first time he was diagnosed with GBM stage 4 in 2011. That in itself is a miracle. But now it’s back again and he is about to complete treatments to help slow down or stop it again. I want my beloved son to live but I am trying to prepare myself if that is not to be.

    I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your son. Grieving is a challenging process, and it's entirely natural to feel consumed by it. Continue seeking solace in your prayers and consider reaching out to friends, family, or support groups to share your feelings and find comfort during this difficult time.

    You lost your three children in a 6 year period? Oh my gosh! I don’t know if I can survive losing one let alone three children. And you are right, there are no words. People who haven’t experienced this type of loss have no idea, and even though I know this, I am still sorely disappointed in most everyone I know. I accept disappointment as part of this new reality. Accepting things the way they are is part of this new reality. I never imagined I could feel so heartbroken, sad, helpless, and alone. So sorry for your loss!

    I'm deeply sorry for your pain and loss, and I appreciate your understanding. Each person's journey through grief is unique and challenging, and you're right, it's incredibly difficult for others to fully grasp the depth of such a loss. Please know that you're not alone in this, and there is support available. Lean on those who understand and consider seeking help from a therapist or support group to navigate your grief. You are not alone, and your feelings are valid. 💔🙏 I am holding a grief support group from Oct 30-Dec 14th, if you're interested mentallystrong.com/grief

    I lost my daughter 36 years old, 6 weeks ago. She had food allergies, passed away in the car alone. I am in despair. So painful and can’t imagine how to live the rest of my life. Can never be happy again.

    I'm truly sorry for your loss; losing a child is incredibly difficult and painful. While it may feel impossible to move on, seeking support from friends, family, or professionals can help you navigate through this challenging time and find ways to honor your son's memory while gradually finding a new sense of peace.

    @Loieann4444, you can only cope with that type of grief with the help of Jesus Christ.Personally I couldn't have survived without my Saviour and the prayers of a few trusted believing friends. I will remember you in my prayers. God Bless you and Comfort and Strengthen you as you greive.

    My 37 year old son died December 17th, 2023 as a result of alcoholism. I'll be 66 next week and a recovered alcoholic for over 11 years. He wouldn't accept my help. I did the best I can. But the abyss of grief coupled with living in chronic pain from 4 cervical spine surgeries I am overwhelmed. Michael Jones

    I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your son, and the challenges you're facing with both grief and chronic pain. Coping with the loss of a loved one, especially under such circumstances, can be incredibly difficult. It's important to remember that you did your best to offer support and help to your son, but ultimately, each person's journey is their own. You've already shown immense strength by maintaining your own sobriety for over a decade. Please lean on your support network and consider seeking professional help to navigate these challenging circumstances. You don't have to face this alone, and there are people who care about your well-being.

    I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your precious son. There are no words that can fully express the pain and sorrow you must be experiencing. Please know that you are not alone in this journey of grief. It's completely normal to feel a range of emotions during this time. Take all the time you need to grieve and remember your son's meaningful presence in your life.
