Coping With Anticipatory Grief
- Though anticipatory grief is a normal emotional process, if there is any difficulty in coping, one can seek the help of mental health professionals.
- Expressing oneself and letting out one’s emotions is extremely important, and it is dangerous to bottle them up.
- If you feel like letting go, make sure you continue to love the loved one, before and after the death, keeping the memory alive.

- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
These widely accepted stages are considered rigid and obsolete as modern psychologists update the understanding of grief.
The Attachment Theory
It focuses on the psychological connectedness of grief, looking at the quality of bondings that are made during the course of our lives.
