Project background

Hearing the news that someone you love, or a friend of yours, has been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition will be a real shock.

This video is intended to help you support the person you love and to find out more about what will happen next.

It's important to know that you will not be alone. There is help out there not just to support and care for your loved one but for you as well. Often, when someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the impact on those around them does not get as much attention as it should.

The brief

Hospice UK recognises that this is a difficult time for everyone and commissioned this film to help anyone who has had a partner or a close friend diagnosed with a terminal illness. It outlines the next steps to take in terms of self-care because we cannot effectively care for others if we do not also care for ourselves.
