Helpful Resources

Being diagnosed with a life threatening illness and going through treatment, causes trauma. Not just to your body, but to your mind as well. Here, you will find self-care tips and advice on caring for yourself. 

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is increasingly being used in hospitals, schools and workplaces to help manage stress, pain and depression. Practising mindfulness helps us to notice what is happening here and now, and to make choices about how we 'respond', rather than habitually 'react', to the circumstances of our lives.

Yoga

Trust Yoga Teacher, Donna shares how she helps people to feel better with gentle therapeutic yoga.

"The practice that I teach can bring a steady source of energy, strength and renewal. We learn to listen to our bodies, not to push ourselves at all but to feel natural relaxed movement. Our classes are small and can be practiced on a chair or the floor depending on how you feel. We do gentle stretches, learn to breathe with movement and most importantly learn to relax to restore energy."

Healthy Eating

When someone is going through a life threatening illness, it can be difficult to find an easily tolerated and healthy diet. A common issue with cancer, in particular, is that treatments often affect taste and appetite. This can possibly result in loss of weight or a deficiency in essential nutrients, leaving patients feeling weaker at a time when they need more strength and energy.

Nature for Health & Wellbeing

Evidence shows that a thriving, wildlife-rich environment benefits both physical and mental health. People with nature on their doorstep are more active, mentally resilient and have better all-round health. Learn more about nature for wellbeing at The Wildlife Trust's website below.

Supporting someone affected 
by illness and loss

At some point we will all come into contact with people who are unwell, dying, bereaved or caring for someone who is ill.  When this happens, it’s not unusual to feel helpless, awkward or lost for words.  We hope our leaflet below will help you feel better able to manage these situations.
