Tiivistelmä	The Bereavement Risk Index (BRI) is a structured assessment tool designed to identify bereaved individuals at elevated risk for complicated grief, depression, or other adverse bereavement outcomes. By systematically evaluating established risk factors (manner of death, relationship quality, concurrent stressors, prior loss history, social support), the BRI facilitates early identification and risk stratification to guide prevention and targeted intervention.	The Anticipatory Grief Scale (AGS) is a measure developed by Theut, Jordan, and colleagues in 1990 to assess grief responses in individuals facing impending loss—such as family members caring for a terminally ill loved one or anticipating a predicted death. The AGS captures the emotional burden, depression, existential concern, and functional disruption that often precede and accompany the final illness period, distinct from post-death grief.
