Life Limiting Illness
Counselling for Life Limiting Illness in Surrey
Receiving a diagnosis of a life limiting illness can be incredibly difficult to come to terms with. It often brings an intense emotional response—such as disbelief, anger, sadness, or denial. These are all natural and very human reactions.
Thanks to advances in modern medicine, many people now live for years with the knowledge of a life limiting condition. But this awareness of our mortality can still weigh heavily, sometimes making it hard to cope with everyday life.
Emotional Support for Serious Illness
Everyone responds differently to a life limiting diagnosis. Some people are able to adjust, while others may feel overwhelmed or unable to manage the changes ahead. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to feel.
If you are finding it difficult, talking to your GP or seeking support from a trained counsellor can help you:
- Understand and process your emotions
- Adjust to the changed landscape of your life
- Find meaning and comfort during a difficult time
- Develop strategies to cope day-to-day
