Anticipatory grief

Anticipatory, or 'living' grief, is when someone experiences feelings of loss before a person dies – possibly long before the actual time of death. This video highlights how health and social care professionals can recognise & support those experiencing anticipatory grief. This video has been produced by NHS Education for Scotland’s Grief & Bereavement workstream for health and social care staff: for more information and resources please visit http://www.sad.scot.nhs.uk/.
