Anticipatory Grief with Danielle
Description
Danielle cared for Lexi for 7 years as she battled a brain tumor they knew she would die from. Balancing taking care of someone she loves with also grieving them and having her life spent going from appointment to appointment was a lot - and that's an understatement. She is now learning what to do in the "after" as in after a person dies.
