Please know that grief presents in different ways in different people, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Grief can be overwhelming, requiring time to process. It's important to allow yourself to experience and work through the grief, opening yourself to healing. This journey may take its time, as it's a gradual process but you do not have to go through it alone, you can find support around you or seek professional help. 

Below are some ways you can try to cope:

• Writing down your feelings in a journal or recording voice notes
• Talking to friends and family
• Attending support groups
• Returning to work or a hobby that you may have had to put on hold as a caregiver
• Finding new interests in music or art can help you socialise and overcome the void

Patients who are in the advanced stages receive care and support to improve the quality of their lives and make them pain-free through palliative or hospice care.

Additionally, we are also dutiful in assisting the family members cope with and accept the sequelae in advanced cancers through our bereavement support amenities.
