The Grief I Didn’t See Coming

Anticipatory grief can be difficult to recognise. The person you love may still be here, yet part of you is already grieving the future you thought you would share.

Get the guide.

Leave your email address and the guide downloads straight away. We send it to your inbox as well, so it is there when you want it.

The download starts the moment you press it.

We send the guide to that address too, and keep it so we can tell you when The Threshold Collective publishes something new. Every email carries a one-click stop that removes your address at once. We never pass it on.

In your own time

None of this means you are coping badly.

You might feel frightened, angry, numb, exhausted or even guilty for experiencing moments of normality.

None of this means you are coping badly. It means you are trying to live with uncertainty.

You do not need to understand everything you are feeling today.

Read it in your own time. Pause when you need to and return to it whenever you feel ready. The Threshold Collective is a lived-experience-led mental health organisation; read about what we do and Momentum.
