💔 “I help people who are dying – one thing is common in final weeks” 🌼
Working as a bereavement counsellor for 25 years, Jane Murray of Marie Curie knows a thing or two about helping people face a terminal diagnosis. It’s tough news, especially when diagnoses come late or are missed, like with bowel or cervical cancer. 😔
Jane shares, “When people grapple with their diagnosis, emotions like anger and questions about their situation arise. It’s important for them to focus on their present and what truly matters now.”
These conversations often lead to moments of acceptance as people navigate their remaining time. Jane encourages patients and their families to reflect on unfinished business and not let negative emotions take over their remaining days. 🌟
As for loved ones, coming to terms isn’t easy either. They may vent emotions toward healthcare professionals, searching for control. Jane advises letting go of ‘what ifs’ and embracing ‘what now,’ to help ease the acceptance process. Every journey is unique, and if you’re finding it challenging, remember help is available.
The Marie Curie Support Line is here to offer guidance to anyone dealing with or caring for a terminally ill loved one. ✨
