Dying & Death

A Roller Coaster Ride

Do we sometimes wonder where this illness will lead us? Will we get better or will we deteriorate?

The way the illness develops affects you and your loved ones in all aspects of your lives. Each change or difference would spark the question: “Is this a sign that the day is coming?”

Your days may feel like riding a roller-coaster, with both good and bad moments. There may be times when it seems no one understands what you’re going through—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The feeling of loneliness might make you wonder how far you can go. Yet the strength within you and the support from your family, friends, and healthcare team might lend you the energy to get through another day.

Your days may be like riding a roller-coaster. There are good AND bad moments. There may be times when it seems no one understands what you go through – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The feeling of aloneness might make you wonder how far you can go. Yet the strength within you and the support you’re your family, friends and healthcare team might lend you the energy to get through another day.

Embracing the Roller Coaster Ride

Learning about end-of-life processes may help you better prepare yourself in supporting your dying loved one. Sharing the knowledge will help all involved to embrace the roller coaster ride more intentionally, meaningfully, engendering a greater sense of mutual support.

Being attuned to the physical, mental and emotional changes of your loved one can help you recognise signs that they could be approaching their eventuality.

Fly a lantern, Send a wish

Releasing a sky lantern into the night sky is a poignant way to send our thoughts and wishes to our loved ones. As the warm, golden glow flickers and gently ascends into the sky, the lantern carries a piece of our hearts, our love, and cherished memories, to the ones we hold dear.

We invite you to send your thoughts, memories and wishes by releasing a virtual sky lantern.
