Hello Umemboshi,

We are thinking of you tonight and your little one as well as of everyone who has recently lost a loved one to cancer and for whom Christmas may be a difficult time of year.

I am so sorry to hear about the financial issues you are having to deal with at the moment. It must be really stressful for you and I hope you will get some good tips from others on our forum who have had to face similar financial difficulties. We have some detailed information on our website on financial support you may be entitled to. You can find out more about this here. It includes a section on government benefits you may qualify for including bereavement benefits and get some help with funeral costs. You can find out more about these here. I hope you get some advice on this - perhaps you could get in touch with your Citizens Advice Bureau who may be able to point you in the right direction.

Best wishes and our thoughts are very much with you tonight,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thank you.
