Explanation:

Many people have a hard time dealing with the death of a loved one. This difficulty is even greater when someone is from our family, and we really want to have him around. For this reason, many people suffer early mourning before their loved one dies, this mourning can be manifested in many ways, such as extreme sadness or simply ignoring the situation and acting as if nothing has happened. In the case of the woman exposed in the question, she is clearly suffering from the imminent death of her husband, at this point it is important that the staff of nurses provide therapeutic care with this woman. A therapeutic statement that the nurse can talk to this woman is "It is not unusual for a family to suffer from anticipatory grief when a loved one is dying."
