When one is grieving (conventional grief), comfort by family and friends come pouring. But anticipatory grief is never discussed especially in the Philippines. Talking about the death of a loved one before he passes away is like a taboo.
VeryWellHealth defines Anticipatory grief as:”..grief that occurs before death (or another great loss) in contrast to grief after death (conventional grief). Rather than death alone, this type of grief includes many losses, such as the loss of a companion, changing roles in the family, fear of financial changes, and the loss of dreams of what could be. Grief doesn’t occur in isolation, and often the experience of grief can bring to light memories of other episodes of grief in the past.”
It is hard to grief when nobody talks about it when you can’t talk about it with. Filipinos express feelings through songs, some read in isolation.
Reading is one pastime everyone should get a habit of. But when you are going through emotional stress, focus doesn’t come by easily. So they read quotes or proverbs, or short passages from the Bible.
Empowher says, “Inspirational quotes are important because they activate an emotional pulse point in our hearts and minds when we are in a distressing situation. The right quote can help us to see light at the end of the tunnel, and give us that extra burst of hope and courage to persevere.”

The worst type of crying wasn’t the kind everyone could see–the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes.

For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life. – Katie McGarry
-
Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it. – Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
-
