My mum’s health is very up and down, she has good days and bad days and I am finding it hard to cope with. What people find helpful to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of palliative care and the unpredictability?
Hi Alo17
Welcome to our community I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve one of the community champions and my experience of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
Something that really helped me was doing a living with less stress course. I learnt to appreciate the value of living day to day and appreciating what we have. I think possibly before hand I was probably suffering some from anticipatory grief and working out how I would cope after my wife had gone. The conscious breathing exercises were good too both for being able to take a step back when life decided to throw us another curve ball but also in helping me relax and get some sleep.
