Hi just bee diagnosed with terminal cancer could be months or few years. My partner and children, although grown up, youngest 23, are very upset. Wondered if anyone could provide me with some ideas of how to get through this. Is there any family bereavement sessions available anywhere?

Have you spoken to your GP about what support may be available to you? They will be aware of what support is available in your local area and can make the appropriate referrals. We’re also aware that some hospices may also offer family bereavement sessions.
