Gradual Loss
When grief begins long before the ending, it can be hard for other people to see. This kind of loss often unfolds while caring for someone through dementia, chronic illness, or a slow change in independence.
Grief does not wait for goodbye, and love does not disappear because loss has begun.
You do not have to have it all figured out. You are allowed to take this one step at a time.
