\"hospiceFacing a Terminal Diagnosis<\/h2>\n

When a family member receives a terminal diagnosis, it\u2019s hard on everyone involved. When it\u2019s your brother or sister, it\u2019s hard for you in ways that are different from the rest of the family. If you\u2019re the older sibling, you likely feel protective toward your \u201clittle\u201d brother or sister, and being unable to fix this problem for them can be hard to cope with.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the younger sibling, you may be struggling with feelings of shock that the older brother or sister who was always there to protect and help you can\u2019t do that anymore. And in fact, it is now your turn to help and protect them. It is an unwelcome role reversal.<\/p>\n

The Strains of Caregiving<\/h2>\n

Caregiving \u2014 especially for a terminally ill patient \u2014 can be exhausting for family members, especially if the burden is not equally spread out. You often feel like you aren\u2019t doing enough, even though you\u2019ve done so much more than you ever thought possible. You\u2019re filled with fear, guilt, anger and a host of other emotions.<\/p>\n
