Answer: C - Anticipatory grief is a form of grief that comes before death occurs.

The term “anticipatory” suggests that this form of grief is one that occurs in advance (anticipation) of a death. Chronic grief is prolonged grief lasting for an extended period of time while masked grief may be absent or not appear related to the loss, such as behavioral changes or medical symptoms. Delayed grief may be triggered by a subsequent loss at a point after the loss occurrence.
