It should be noted that despite the fact that anticipatory grief is a reaction that occurs before an impending loss of death, it can also occur to the dying persons but it is more reactive to the bereaved. This is clearly brought out in the Schwartz’s and Albom’s conversations that canvas acceptance in the Albom’s assent to the reality that Schwartz was indeed sick, recognizing the need to go and visit him, communication and love, which can be traced in the relationship between the two (Lindemann,11). The connection between the two make Albom have a hard time, become hopelessness, helplessness and some have untold guilt propelled by love that force him to commute weekly despite his newspaper editing job. This is also portrayed in the fact that he took him some food in every visit and the symbolic aspect in which Schwartz’s health deteriorated like the hibiscus tree, which presents the natural trajectory of life as he tells the story crashing into shore, and thus, symbolizing death.

This effective monitoring will guide in response towards the limits to avoid the burden breaking point, which may result into breakdown of an individual’s mental and social functioning.
