Grief doesn’t always wait for goodbye. For caregivers, it can begin long before anyone else notices. It starts when the familiar becomes unfamiliar When connection fades slowly… When you start to lose the person you love, one small piece at a tim It’s called anticipatory grief, and it’s real. Caregivers don’t just lose time and energy. They lose shared memories. They lose the version of someone they once knew. They lose parts of themselves. So if you know someone walking this path: - Ask how they’re doing. - Show up before the end. -Let them grieve—without needing to fix it. To every caregiver who is mourning while still showing up: You are seen. You are strong. You are not alone.
