Sudha Devi, a 78-year-old woman, bravely faced her lung cancer diagnosis with awareness and acceptance. Her eldest daughter took on the role of her primary caregiver, providing love and support as Sudha underwent treatment at a nearby hospital.

When CanSupport’s team visited her, Sudha lay unconscious, surrounded by a worried family unsure of how to manage her care. The team introduced their services and explained how palliative care can alleviate Sudha's physical pain and bed sores. They meticulously attended to her needs, providing dressing changes and educating the family on proper care techniques.

In subsequent visits, Sudha Devi’s son expressed his anguish at seeing his mother in pain, prompting the counsellor to offer emotional support. As the family grappled with the reality of Sudha's condition, her family sought answers about her prognosis, to which the team broke bad news to the family and the importance of completing any unfinished tasks.

As Sudha's condition declined, the team advised the family to remain by her side, avoid unnecessary hospitalization and reach out for support if needed. A few weeks later, Sudha Devi peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by her loved ones. The family found solace in knowing Sudha departed without suffering, and they expressed gratitude to the CanSupport team for guiding them through her final moments.

In the face of loss, the family found comfort in their collective strength and the compassionate guidance of the support team, illustrating the power of love and support in navigating life's most challenging moments.
