Support Library

When you are first told that you are dying, or that someone you love is going to die, you might have lots of questions. You might want to take some time to think about what you need and gather information. You might want help with making plans.

In this section we have collected together information which we think might be helpful to you along the way- please browse and use it as you need.

If it all feels overwhelming and you need help finding your way through

the system- please contact our Emotional Support team on
