From people who came through it

  • โ€œHi, you. I was in the same place this time last year. I remember the hospice day centre like it was yesterday. Last month I had people round for dinner. From someone who gets it.โ€

    Seamstress G 58 ยท been through facing a terminal illness
  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place a year and a half ago. The worst part: told I have months, not years. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ€

  • โ€œWhen I first heard 'months, not years', I thought my world ended. It didn't. You'll have good days and bad days. The scanxiety is real, but it passes. Let people help you. The hospice team, your family, friends. Talk about your fears. I wish I'd done it sooner. You're not by yourself in this, even when it feels like it.โ€

    Kevin Y. ยท been through facing a terminal illness
  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was palliative care team at home. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
