Anticipatory grief refers to a feeling of grief occurring before an impending loss. Typically, the impending loss is the death of someone close due to illness. This can be experienced by dying individuals themselves[1] and can also be felt due to non-death-related losses like a scheduled mastectomy, pending divorce, company downsizing, or war.
