A terminal illness can bring about changes in the lives of the patient and anyone closely connected to him. Each journey that begins with the news of a life-limiting illness is different, and no two people will respond to that journey in the same way.
The journey can be a challenging one—emotionally, physically, spiritually and psychologically. If you or someone you love is dealing with the diagnosis of a terminal illness, you may be experiencing many different feelings such as sadness, fearfulness, apprehension, hopelessness, despair and even denial. You may have questions about what steps to take next. That’s why having the right support system behind you is vitally important.

Along this unique journey, the right support system can make it possible for the patient and his loved ones to focus more of their time, efforts and attention on making lasting memories together—instead of only focusing on the day-to-day tasks of caregiving. As time moves forward, this freedom becomes increasingly more valuable to both the patient and his loved ones.
The right support system can connect the patient and his loved ones with resources that can be very helpful during this season of life. The right support system includes a health care team focused on providing medical care for the patient and on working to meet the needs of that patient with an interdisciplinary approach—from an emotional, spiritual and psychological perspective.
