Facing the end of life
Sometimes, someone with cancer doesn’t get better. Many people find it very hard to talk about death and don’t really know what to say or do. You can help someone who is dying by being with them and showing you care. People dying of cancer still need love, friendship and support.
Remember that even in the later stages of cancer, you should respect the wishes of the person with cancer. It is up to them to accept or refuse further treatment. Try to be aware of your own ideas and views about death. Don’t let them interfere with how you help someone else face their death or the death of someone close to them.
When someone dies after an illness, it’s quite common to feel a range of emotions. You might feel sad or even angry. You may be relieved that their suffering is over. You may feel guilty that you’re still alive when someone else has died.
It is important to accept the fact that you are grieving and to allow yourself time to do so. It’s okay to grieve in your own way, and to deal with grief in a way that makes you feel better. It’s okay to need some help when you’re dealing with loss. You may want to talk to your doctor, clergy or someone else you trust. They can help you get the support you need to move forward
