Anticipatory grief, or grief that occurs before death, combines thoughts about the past, present, and future without a loved one. Although symptoms of anticipatory grief resemble the pain of loss, it is often exacerbated by caregiver stress and the multitude of losses occurring with illness. Michael Bick, AMFT, is a therapist who works with adolescents, adults, families, and couples experiencing health crises, traumatic grief, life threatening illness and post traumatic growth. Michal presented in this workshop about how to learn how to cope with the pain and process losses associated with cancer.
