When You Hear The News

Hearing these two terrifying words can give rise to several feelings. Being alone at such a time is not advisable. You can ask for a follow-up appointment so that someone can be with you.

Find Someone To Talk To

Even when you feel that you are alone in such difficult times, remember that you still have your family and friends. Talking to them or someone professional, like a counsellor, can help you get a different perspective on things.

Living With Uncertainty

Terminal illnesses bring with them a number of uncertainties for you to live with. Questions with no definite answers will arise and your body will change visibly. Your relationships and independence will be affected and you might keep wondering exactly how much time is left.

Living With Your Diagnosis

• Take one step at a time
• Deciding and achieving small goals will help build your confidence
• Writing down your chaotic and disturbing thoughts will clear your head and give your thoughts a proper direction
• Taking care of yourself and your mind can bring a huge change in your lifestyle
• If possible, talk to someone who is experiencing the same problems and inquire about how they cope with it

A positive mind leads to a positive life!
