Living with a terminal illness
If you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness it can really help to plan ahead for the future, both for yourself and your loved ones, even though this can be incredibly difficult to think about. We have guidance on deciding where you want to die, telling people about your diagnosis, planning your funeral, organising a Will and financial support you can access, so that everything is in place and as you want it.
