Support from Marie Curie after my sister passed away

Posted By Clare2

"Support from Marie Curie after my sister passed away"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Macmillan Health and Well Being Campus

(as a relative),

I contacted Marie Curie for support after the loss of my sister to Ovarian Cancer.  

Martha emailed me and arranged a face to face counselling session in the Cancer Unit in Altnagelvin Area Hospital.

I really needed to speak to someone outside the family as we were all so upset.

I felt supported and like nothing was too much trouble.
