A beautiful chapter Colette and I know this form of grief very well. We find ourselves, I think, when we go through this love and sadness. Clarexx

Thank you for sharing part of your book. I have read Dying to live and I had my sister read it too. She has advanced bone cancer and I feel your book touched her in a different way than the more Christocentric books she has been reading. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into everything you do. Lots of Love and Kindness.

I once met Christopher at a plush hotel restaurant in West Hollywood LA
He is a very humble man 🌟

Very touching story, and many hugs to you. I also want to thank you, for I have been in that situation as well, and often thought what in the world is wrong with me, why did I even think that. This has brought some closure to my thoughts. Love ya!

I understand this now I didn't while I was going through it, with my dog of 17 yrs I saw her deteriorate the last few years, I got told in a dream how long I would have left with her 3year and 3 month and she passed 3year 3 month later, I grieved way before her time

hello Colette, I had a heavily charged psychic day today which took me by surprise, and your video popped up tonight, one of those random moment that aren't, and it felt comforting. thank you 🙏

Thank you Colette. Although i had already read that in your book my eyes welled up again as i listened to you reading it. Its beautiful. I'am not a big reader but i bought this one and couldn't put it down. Its unbelievably reasonably priced. I would even use the word cheap and the information inside is gold.

Collette I went through this prior to lossing my husband last year . It a very painful journey but it mentally prepares you for the end

Colette, thank you so much for this video. Had never heard of "anticipatory grief, " before. But now I have a word for it, a phrase to Google, less need to feel guilty, and the knowledge that I'm not crazy...It explains why it all comes in waves...fine one day, bowled over the next...Knowing that these sudden waves of emotion are natural, and not just "overreacting, " as I had feared, is so important, and will actually help me to help the person concerned better. That's all absolutely priceless, especially in a year such as this one. Thank you again, and enormous love and hugs to you. xxxx

Thank you Colette, that really touched me. What a beautiful memory of your dad - how lucky you were to have such a beautiful father in your life. I never experienced that...my father was not a good or nice person and was absent for a good part of my childhood. He passed many years ago and now mother is 89, getting frailer and losing her eyesight more each time I see her. I have been experiencing what I now know as anticipatory grief for the last year...I know she'll pass soon. Such mixed emotions....love, resentment, gratitude, admiration...I think about it all constantly and know that however much I prepare, my world will come crashing down the day she passes. Thank you for the beautiful words.❤

Bless you and thank you for sharing this extract from your book with us and your heartfelt memories of your beautiful dad xx

A lot of my heart goes out to the pets I have, and because I've lost pets before I am more hyper-aware of my love for the ones I have now than ever before. Even though most of my pets are still pretty young, I can't help but recognize the intense pain I'll feel when they leave me... the price for loving them so much. I have to work through those feelings for quite a while whenever I slip into that mindset.

I still remember our previous dog's last day with me. She looked at me that morning with a big doggy smile, and I made sure to remember it. But she suddenly looked ill later in the day. She ended up waiting until my mom got home before passing on. That memory is a blessing and a curse for me. But because of that, I cherish all the moments I can with the little guys I have now!

Thanks for the video Colette. I hope you're doing well!

Yes I call it the long goodbye .As a Nurse I have seen this grief with Alzheimers, Parkinsons, COPD, Certain Autoimmune diseases etc. Many times all you can do is give family a hug for it is a very long goodbye...
