Don’t wait

There seems to be a feeling that if you actually go after information pertaining to supportive care for a serious illness or at the end of life, you are somehow “giving up", but it just aint’ so!

We suffer more than we need to when we wait.

When something feels wrong in our body, but we’re scared to find out what the issues is, the problem can get worse in the meantime, meaning more drastic interventions are needed later on.

When we are dealing with a serious illness, but are afraid to bring in supportive help because it may signal we are don’t want treatment, we may not receive the care we our families need to get through the experience with well met expectations.

When we wait until the last moment to bring on comfort care at the end of a life, we deprive ourselves and our loved ones of all the emotional and relationship work that might get us and our care circle to a healthier place before entering a period of grief.

Talking about fears, worries and potential outcomes doesn’t make them so, and in fact, it’s healing to voice those feelings and get them outside of your body and head; share them with others so you aren’t just dealing with them alone.

Don’t wait. The worst thing that could happen is you get more support and guidance for what lies ahead.
