“Anticipate” the same feelings and emotions as a grandmother experiencing your first grandchild’s steps from high school to their next chapter. It’s almost more difficult.

Thank you for sharing your experience too! Anticipation is often a grief journey in itself. May you treasure and ponder.

Tears are streaming down my face with this glory gram. It hits home for me. My daughter is 7 and growing up so fast. I continue to look for ways to help her see the world beyond our small existence. Up until now I would have anticipatory grief. Now I'll try to reframe it as treasured memories in my heart like Mary.
