Anticipatory Grief: The Journey of a Thousand Losses and Endless Grace

We grieve after the death of a loved one, but what about before? Yes, it is true. We do. The soul cries, "This should not be," at the first sign death will come to what we treasure. The grief is so common, it has an official name. Anticipatory grief. How does one learn to live in the ongoing tension between hope for life and compounding little losses? Tracy K Pratt introduces us to the uniqueness, normalcy, and significance of grief before death. She shows why the uninvited companion is trustworthy and how it leads to God, the Grace-Giver. His intimacy with human grief is our hope. His lack of rescue of our treasure is not judgment or condemnation. He has traveled this road before us. Tracy shows how we can discover His gifts of grace in our personal journeys through the autumn of loss.
