Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief, also known as preparatory grief, refers to a feeling of grief occurring before an impending loss. Typically, the impending loss is the death of someone close due to illness. This can be experienced by dying individuals themselves and can also be felt due to non-death-related losses like a pending divorce, company downsizing, or war. Since its introduction in the 1940s, the definition of anticipatory grief has remained contested, and its use in academic research has been marked by some inconsistency. There is also no clear consensus on its psychological impact, with studies reporting both beneficial and adverse effects. History Psychiatrist Erich Lindemann introduced anticipatory grief in his analysis of acute grief and grief reactions, studying the prevalent case of anticipatory grief in the wife of a deployed soldier. He found that the wife experienced the impending grief as she expected her husband not to return home alive. She processed the death entirely ...

The remains of a former organism normally begin to decompose shortly after death. Some organisms, such as '' Turritopsis dohrnii'', are biologically immortal; however, they can still die from means other than aging. Death is generally applied to whole organisms; the equivalent for individual components of an organism, such as cells or tissues, is necrosis. Something that is not considered an organism, such as a virus, can be physically destroyed but is not said ''to die'', as a virus is not considered alive in the first place.
