Family Support

When a family member or someone close to you is diagnosed with a serious illness, it can be a distressing, frightening and a lonely time, which leaves you with a sense of helplessness and loss of control.

Family members may also protect each other by not talking about what is happening, which can increase the sense of isolation.
