Lets start with the Basics:
- As an adult with obviouse responsibilities YOU NEED to IMMEDIATELY make A Will
- ASK FOR HELP completing any tasks on your list - in good order and with dignity.
- List the tasks you need to complete and prioritise them
- Write it down! emotions or drugs may make the task increasingly difficult.
- List the people you want to contact.
- Trust your instincts!
- Lack of information can lead to isolation
- Use the word “cancer” & be "factual"
- There is a risk of your family & friends finding out from someone else – which could lead to loss of trust
- We cannot protect loved ones from feeling sad, sharing emotions can bring you closer together and help them to cope when you are gone
- Being honest does not mean telling everything it means telling the truth!
