When Grief Comes Before Goodbye

The Grief No One Talks About — Grieving Someone Who Is Still Here

There is a grief that begins long before the funeral — the grief of watching dementia slowly take someone you love while they are still sitting across the table. Counselors call it anticipatory grief. Caregivers just call it Tuesday. This guided journal gives that grief a safe place to go: gentle prompts that help you put words to what you're losing, Scripture that meets you in the sorrow, and space to be completely honest with God about all of it — the sadness, the anger, the guilt, and the love.
