This scoping review synthesizes evidence on anticipatory grief among family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, identifying risk factors such as spousal status and resilience factors like social support. The authors examine how this grief correlates with depressive symptoms and discuss the potential role of interventions focused on acceptance and preparedness in mitigating distress. The resource is primarily intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the psychological impacts of dementia caregiving.
