โI'm only a few months into this, but here's what I've learned so far. The paperwork can wait an hour. The fear doesn't go away, but it gets quieter if you let people help. Write things down, even if it's just a sentence. And find one small thing that makes you smile, like a game of cards or a bird at the feeder. It won't fix anything, but it makes the day easier to carry.โ
โHello 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
โHi, 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
โFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. The worst part: told I have months, not years. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ
