Southlake, TX - Ahead of National Grief Awareness Day on August 30, Mosaic Way Counseling is naming a kind of grief that most support overlooks: the grief that begins before the loss does.
It is called anticipatory grief, and it is common. Many caregivers feel it long before the loss arrives, and for some it is as heavy as the grief that comes after. An estimated 63 million Americans, roughly one in four adults, are now family caregivers, according to AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, and many carry the strain in silence. Caregivers are so used to being asked about the person they care for that many are surprised when someone asks how they themselves are doing.
The same quiet loss shows up on the job. In 2022, 46 percent of health workers reported burnout often or very often, up from 32 percent in 2018, and many described higher levels of loss and grief than before the pandemic, according to the CDC. First responders carry repeated loss as a routine part of the work.
Mosaic Way Counseling is built for these people. Its Southlake team includes a therapist with a background in hospice and home healthcare, Alysen Hensley, who works with seniors 65 and older, adult children caring for parents, first responders, and healthcare workers. The practice keeps caseloads small, responds quickly when people reach out, and helps callers find the right therapist even when that turns out to be someone else.
"The people who hold everyone else together are usually the last to ask for help. A daughter caring for her mother, a nurse, a paramedic. We built our practice so the helpers finally have somewhere to be the ones who are cared for."
Erin Waldrop, MA, LPC-S, Founder and CEO of Mosaic Way Counseling
Mosaic Way Counseling offers a complimentary 30-minute consultation. Sessions are held in person at the Southlake office, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
