The aching pain of bereavement can last for years. Fortunately, there are many support resources to help you heal. For specialized links use the index bar at the left of your screen or go to the site map. Hundreds of additional resources for grief and terminal illness are available through our search engine and online bookstore. There are specialized resources for bereaved families, helping children grieve, pregnancy loss and infant death, and suicide. Some diseases such as cancer, AIDS and HIV disease, and Alzheimer's Disease have features which can complicate the mourning process. The term "anticipatory grief" refers to the feelings of loss and sadness which can arise during terminal care. The decision to enter a hospice may trigger a strong anticipatory grief reaction."
