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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
