This is called anticipatory grief. And it's more common than you think

If you're grieving someone who's still here because of a terminal diagnosis, dementia, or watching someone you love slowly change what you're feeling has a name. It's called anticipatory grief.

It can bring waves of sadness, guilt, anxiety, and exhaustion sometimes all at once. You might feel like you're losing them bit by bit while everyone around you thinks everything's fine because they're still alive.

You're not imagining it. You're not overreacting. And you're not the only person going through this.

Anticipatory grief can start long before someone dies. It's the quiet ache of knowing what's coming and not being able to stop it. It can affect your sleep, your mood, your body, and your sense of who you are.

If this is where you are right now, you don't have to carry it on your own. I support people through grief before loss, helping you make sense of what you're feeling while you're still in the middle of it.

Send me a message if you want to talk about it, there's no pressure. Just a safe place to start. . . . .

That’s what surprises most people. Especially if the only support they’ve known is sitting down and explaining everything from the start.

IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) is different. You don’t have to unpack your whole story. You don’t have to relive anything. You stay in control the whole time, you’re fully awake, it’s not hypnosis, and you don’t forget anything.

IEMT isn’t something I generally use with people who are newly bereaved. Early grief needs space, gentleness, and time.

However, when someone has been grieving for a while and feels emotionally stuck - when the intensity isn’t shifting, the thoughts keep looping, or the body feels weighed down - that’s when IEMT can be a supportive option to explore.

It works with how your mind is holding onto the difficult parts: the emotional weight, the tension in your body, the grief exhaustion, the overwhelm. And it helps that intensity begin to ease.

It’s not a one‑size‑fits‑all fix. Some people notice a shift straight away. For others it takes a few days before things feel lighter. Sometimes one session is enough. Sometimes it takes a few. But the change is real and people feel it.

If you’ve been grieving for a long time and talking about it hasn’t shifted the ‘stuckness’, IEMT might be the kind of support that helps things change.

This is the meditation I wish existed when I was grieving.

A place to be held, to breathe, to not have to be brave for a moment.

Here’s a small glimpse of it - a glimpse of the space I created for saddened hearts.

If it feels supportive, the full meditation is on my website, waiting whenever you need it.

There are moments that knock you sideways. You’re standing in the kitchen making tea and you suddenly remember they’re not walking through the door. You pick up your phone to text them and realise you can’t. You’re trying to get through a work meeting and your throat tightens for no clear reason. You get into bed and the space beside you feels too big.

In those moments, it’s not always about talking. Sometimes you just need something that steadies your body so you don’t feel like you’re unravelling.
Over time, I started introducing what I call crystal armour into my grief programmes for exactly that reason.

These aren’t “just stones.” Each one carries its own vibrational quality. I work with rainbow energy, alongside white and black stones, because they hold the full spectrum of colour frequencies that your system can draw upon when you feel fragmented or depleted.

When you keep one close, you’re not only holding something physical. You’re choosing something intentionally supportive. The weight of it. The feel of it against your skin. The awareness that it’s there for you. It can help you slow down just enough to get through that minute.

The bundles combine rainbow, white and black stones, along with two supportive bracelets. They’re there to sit quietly beside you while you move through this at your own pace.

You can carry them daily, hold one when you feel that tightness building, or keep them beside your bed at night.

If that feels aligned for you, you’ll find them on the shop page of my website, check out the link in my bio

Walking alongside someone as they move through the exhaustion, confusion, guilt, and emotional weight of grief is a profound privilege.

When a client shares how the space, understanding, and gentle techniques helped them feel lighter, clearer, and more deserving of life again, it’s a reminder of what compassionate grief support can open.

If you’re finding your way through your own loss - feeling overwhelmed, mixed up in your emotions, or unsure how to carry what’s happened - you don’t have to navigate that alone.

My suite of grief support offerings is here to meet you with empathy, grounding, and the kind of steady presence that helps you breathe again.

Check out my website, link in Bio and of course you’re welcome to reach out whenever you feel ready.

There are times in grief when you don’t necessarily want to talk, but you also don’t want to just sit there either. You might be looking for something structured. Something to follow. Something that gives your mind and body a point of focus.

That’s where my meditation the Grief Collective may help.

It’s 19 minutes of guided support. You’re taken on a journey step by step, together with the music and the pace is designed to help you settle your mind help you feel more centred before you get back to what is considered normality.

It doesn’t promise to change your grief. It simply offers you a steady space to sit within it.

If that feels useful right now, The Grief Collective meditation is on my website for £7. You can also try one of my free meditations first to see how it feels by tapping the link in the bio.
