2 weeks ago, my dog, Pajamas, had an early morning stroke while she slept. This experience reminded me of the power of pre-grieving those we love. 'Pre-grieving,' also known to others as anticipatory grief, is the process of meditating on or visualizing the death of someone you care about before they die. WHY would we want to grieve before we absolutely have to?
Pre-grieving will help you: ❤️🩹 Cope with unexpected emotions in advance 😱 Reduce the shock of mortality 💪 Help you be the best guardian and guide for your dying pet or loved one, 🎁 And most of all -- cherish the present moment you have with them while they're totally ALIVE.
In this episode, hear the story of Pajamas' stroke and get a quick download on the power of Pre-Grieving.
