What's it about?
This is my straightforward approach and journey from cancer carer to palliative carer: developed over eleven years, as my wife became terminally ill. I have created this site to highlight some options and insights for others.
It might just help you.
If you are a carer (or have been a carer), be brave and share your personal stories with us.

I highly recommend reading this, brilliant resource, A Good Death, written from personal experience and in depth research by Margaret Rice. Also, read her blog on Good Grief too.
Talking about dying is never easy. None of us really want to think about it. I know that everyone around me did not want to talk about it, including my wife. Our son was quite young at the time.
My wife's cancer was called 'aggressive'. What does that mean? Where do you start with that? How do you tell family and friends? So, we gently discussed options and found things which worked for us. We used dark humour to survive.
There was no-one I knew who had been through this awful experience and wanted to talk about it when their loved one died. They had had enough. So as a 'surviving' carer, I want to share this journey with you.
Maybe you have a friend who is a carer? Please share this site with anyone who is going through the same thing.
