A refrain we hear often. Another suggestion to add: ask for what you need. Saying things like "I want to talk about the fact that I may die, will you sit and listen?" can open the gates.

@marydonobird @endwellproject (2) would suggest looking up "Traumatic loss, counseling" and seeing what's in your area or online. I think a lot of people are in this boat right now, so the other issue you may encounter is no availability for this much needed resource

[Mettle Health @Mettle_Health]

@marydonobird @endwellproject Palliative care is meant to accompany a person living with an illness and their family to improve quality of life. While we welcome anyone experiencing grief, we want to call out that traumatic loss is it's own thing and should be treated as such to get the right care.
