After having surgery and treatment things seem to have changed now. Her symptoms seem worse and I’m struggling to help her stay positive. I want to have an open discussion but don’t wanna be the cause of more worry for her. She is frightened and seems lost at the minute. We know the prognosis is poor but want to keep as much joy in her life as we can. How can I help her? I’d be grateful fir any advice which would benefit my beautiful sister.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read about your sister and it's natural that you want to do all you can to help her. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to say and it's normal to worry that you might say the wrong thing. Have a look at this information from Macmillan on the benefits of talking and also this on things to avoid saying.
Understanding what your sister might be facing (link) will help you support her and make her feel less alone. You could also encourage her to join this Macmillan Online Community where she would be able to discuss her fears and worries with others who will understand exactly what she's going through.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
