The HHA Way

​

​The diagnosis has been made, the shock and disbelief are real.  You are already grieving. The grief journey does not start when the casseroles stop coming.  It begins at diagnosis. It has an immediate impact as the possibility of dying or losing a loved one strikes it’s first blow. Another Day empowers individuals along every step of their journey from diagnosis to death and carries on for those who love them.

​

The phone calls have gotten shorter, the visitors have stopped visiting and now the process of grief has now grown terrifying because grief does not end when the casseroles stop coming. The thought of grief immediately impacts you when the possibility of losing a loved one surfaces and this is something that many people struggle to grasp. It is not often where we conceive the progression of grief of someone diagnosed with a life-limiting illness.
