Evaluate an article: Anticipatory grief

Everything in this article is relevant to the topic of anticipatory grief in addition to grief as a whole. The article begins with a definition of anticipatory grief and gives examples of instances that one may experience this form of grief. After the original definition there are only two major sections: stages and identifying features. The photo depicting David's anticipatory grief is relevant but quite outdated so I would suggest either taking this out and replacing it with a photo or a diagram or sorts that is a bit more relevant. I think that this article could definitely add sections such as: anticipatory grief for caregivers or anticipatory grief for those with a long-term illness (such as cancer) to name two. I think that this article is overall well done for it being a C-class, but I think that there needs to be more specific writing towards the topic "anticipatory grief" rather than "grief". Finally, this article needs far more citations embedded within the text as well as more recourses to help with the current writing and for any additional sections added.
