Friends & Family Loss

Are you asking yourself why you are feeling so down, or feeling awkward about visiting a grief counselor’s website, because your loved one is still alive, but he or she is suffering from a chronic disease or disability? It’s absolutely normal to grieve the loss of someone we love even before he or she dies if we know that death is approaching. If you’re also a caregiver to your loved one as he or she loses physical abilities and/or becomes increasingly cognitively impaired, your grief is likely coupled with a nearly-overwhelming stress.
