A conversation that you’d probably rather not talk about
How do you cope when someone close is diagnosed terminally ill? What do you say or do? We know it’s not easy. Most people want to be treated as normally as possible, without always focusing on the illness.
So, let your loved one tell you what they want.
Let them guide you. And never underestimate the value of your presence. Lingering terminal illnesses are increasingly common, and challenging for families.
We know. That’s why we’re here to make your journey a little easier. Call us 7 days.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
