My aunt (60yrs old) has been told she is in the actively dying phase. Ovarian and kidney cancer. Several family members are having a lot of trouble accepting this. They are questioning everything the doctors say, requesting repeat bloods etc. Some of us have medical knowledge due to careers in the field so we are doing our best to keep her comfortable. It's causing a lot of stress and tension which is the last thing my aunt needs. I am aware that there are stages to grief but I feel they are not being supportive and don't have my aunts best interests at heart. How can I help them.
We have been told it's weeks not days. Having to see a steady decline is incredibly hard and I am struggling to cope.
