my husband has a family member in hospice with pancreatic cancer. We don't know how long she has left, and I'm slowly watching my husband and his family fall apart. They're bottling up their emotions, everyone is incredibly stressed and I don't know how to support them. They won't let me do anything to help, won't speak to me about it, my husband won't talk to me about how he's doing. They're not coping and I'm really worried for what happens when she does pass. I don't know what to do
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
