When Someone You Love Is Dying: Anticipatory Grief with Jill McMahon

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The four stages of anticipatory grief and how they differ from conventional grief

• How to navigate the emotions of loss before it happens, from acceptance and reflection to rehearsal and imagining life without your loved one

• Practical advice for mending relationships and preparing for inevitable goodbyes

Mathew Blades welcomes grief specialist Jill McMahon to explore the often-overlooked experience of anticipatory grief, the emotional process that begins before a loved one passes away.

Drawing from personal stories and professional wisdom, Jill outlines key stages in this unique grieving process and highlights the importance of honest self-reflection, open communication, and preparing for life’s transitions.

Together, they challenge listeners to “air check” their own relationships and find ways to reduce regret by making peace now, offering hope, comfort, and actionable insights for anyone facing loss.
