As social workers, we encounter individuals from all walks of life, each with unique grief experiences throughout their lives. Disenfranchised grief, which occurs when a person鈥檚 loss is not openly acknowledged or socially recognized, can be difficult to address. Anticipatory grief, experienced before a pending loss, is equally significant to other types of grief, but often overlooked.
