The present study employed qualitative methods involved in grounded theory research to discover and explain the experiences of adult children who anticipate the loss of their parents. A sample of six adults volunteered to participate, and data were collected through unstructured interviews. Data analysis was conducted using the constant comparative method associated with grounded theory. Adults who anticipate the loss of their parents were seen to engage in three main processes, each containing component parts-discerning life and death, evaluating relationships with parents, and preparing to outlive-as they endeavored to reconcile themselves to inevitable loss.
