End of Life Therapeutic Emotional Support

 

Receiving a terminal diagnosis can be a shocking and frightening experience.  Usually, over time, these feelings become less intense.  However, you may still be left struggling to come to terms with what is happening to you.  

​

Managing the end of your life and the losses and trauma this brings can be very difficult.  Therapeutic, emotional support, talking to someone who you can trust and who does not make any judgement can help you to reconcile these feelings.  

 

You may find it helpful to speak to someone outside of your immediate circle of friends and family, someone who can support you in preserving a sense of 'normality', discuss your feelings and any plans you may want to make or wishes you may have for the future.

 

Therapeutic support can be extremely beneficial in helping you to take control of your life.
