I live too far away to be a practical help. What can I do to support my relatives who are both terminal.

Hi Rachel,
I am sorry to read that both of your relatives are
terminally ill. It is very natural to want to offer as much support and
practical help as you can and there are things you can do for your family even
though you live a distance away. Making time to speak on the phone and listen
to their worries or concerns is a great way to support your relatives when you
can't physically be with them. You can read more about how to be there for your
loved ones here: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/being-there/helping-someone-cope/family-friends-help
If you would like
to talk about things in more detail please call our free Support Line on 0800

Best Wishes
Brigette
